Hi,
I glimpsed this loco from a bus as it passed under the bridge at Finsbury Park in 1960/61. It was the first A3 I had seen and I fell in love with that engine there and then. I now have time to model the locos from then and have an A3 in 7mm that I want to make as 61. It must have a double chimney for that era and I want her in ex works condition, so when was she last repainted and did she have small or trough deflectors. I like the A3 in either form and I’m sure I saw her in both forms so. Ex works for the last time small or trough?
Thanks
Bob
