	A3 Lyrics
		A3 road - The A3 is a trunk road in Southern England, connecting London to Portsmouth.
		LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman - The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive number 4472 "Flying Scotsman" (originally no. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Sir Nigel Gresley.
		LNER Class A1/A3 - The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class A1/A3 is a class of 4-6-2 steam locomotives, designed by Nigel Gresley.

	A3 LNER Pacific - The Flying Scotsman
		The idea of a new Pacific class is reputed to owe much to Gresley's admiration for the design of the Pennsylvania Railroad Class `K4s' (another popular Aster model from the 1980's).
		Further development of Class A3 led to the famous streamlined A4, the subject of a very successful Aster design dating from 1984.
		Over 70 similar locomotives of Class A3 were actually scrapped, leaving Flying Scotsman as the sole survivor of its class.

		The Prototype locomotive of the class was ‘Caerphilly Castle’ introduced in the August of 1923 and appeared at the Empire exhibition at Wembley in 1924 as a prime exhibit for the GWR and was displayed next to the then LNER A1 ‘Flying Scotsman’.
		The class hit the record books on the 8th June 1932 when No.5006 (BR number) covered the 77¼ miles from Swindon to London Paddington in 56½ minutes with 39 miles of that run with a speed of 90mph and even towards the ends of their lives they were clocked doing over 100mph on specials.
		It was withdrawn with others of its class in the December of 1963 and was purchased by Woodham's of Barry in May of 1964 arriving at the scrapyard in the June.

	LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite the LNER livery, the prominent German-style smoke deflectors and double chimney are BR-era features.
		The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive number 4472 "Flying Scotsman" (originally no. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Sir Nigel Gresley.
		It was restored as closely as possible to its original LNER condition and worked a number of railtours, including a non-stop London-Edinburgh run in 1968 - the year steam traction officially ended on BR.

	The LNER A1 and A3 Gresley Pacifics
		The A3 was a modification of the original A1 design, and all of the surviving A1s were eventually rebuilt as A3s.
		This was patented in November 1915, although Gresley readily admitted that the principle was based on a lapsed patent of Holcroft's.
		In 1945, Thompson redesignated the remaining A1s as Class A10.

	The Gresley A4 Pacifics
		From this, he calculated that a streamlined and modified A3 design would be able to haul trains of eight or nine carriages at similar speeds.
		As with the A3, Walschaerts gear was used on the outside cylinders, and Gresley's conjugated gear was used for the inside cylinder.
		The LNER only claimed a peak average of 125mph - so breaking the world record for steam traction held by the German State Railways (124.5mph) and the British record set by the LMS (114mph).

		The Boiler and fireboxes were of the ‘Sandringham’ class locomotives, which were introduced by Gresley in 1928 for use on the former Great Eastern railway main line where they had to be specially designed due to heavy restrictions to weight and clearances.
		65 of the class were built and impressed the locomotive world with their efficiency even though their driving wheels were only 5’ 8” in diameter they were able to reach speeds over 70mph.
		The last of the class was withdrawn from BR service in the September of 1967 but enthusiasts managed to save LNER No.1306 ‘Mayflower’ which has its home at the Nene Valley Railway and LNER No.1264 which is owned by the Thompson B1 Locomotive Trust and is based on the Great Central railway.

	LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 Tornado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original series was ordered by the LNER but the 49 locomotives were built at Doncaster and Darlington for British Railways (BR) in 1948/1949, after the nationalisation of the railways in the United Kingdom.
		Other famous East Coast Mainline steam locomotives have been preserved, for example several Gresley LNER Class A4 and one LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman but in the 1960s all 49 of the LNER Peppercorn Class A1 steam locomotives were scrapped.
		The safety valves were tested on LNER Class A4 Union of South Africa at the Severn Valley Railway before their delivery to Meiningen for fitting to the boiler.

	LNER A3 "Flying Scotsman"
		This was followed one year later (when the GNR had become part of the LNER) by what has surely become the World’s most famous steam locomotive – No.4472 ‘Flying Scotsman’.
		Many more examples were added to the class in the 1920’s and into the early 30’s, first as Class A1 and then subsequently with higher pressure boilers and altered valve gear as Class A3.
		Although Gresley had developed the idea in his GNR days after World War 1, it was with the A1 and A3 classes that the concept came into its own.

		The A4’s were a development of the A3, though they were entirely new engines based on the success of the A3 design rather than a re-build as the A3’s had been from A1’s.
		Another 3 of the class followed also liveried in silver with names such as ‘Silver fox’ and ‘Silver King’ No. 2511 which was based away from its class mates at Gateshead the other 3 engines having Kings cross top shed as their base.
		Originally it had been intended for the class to carry the names of birds, for example BR No.60009 was to be known as ‘Osprey’ but became known as the ‘Union of South Africa’ along with 4 other of its class mates that were named to honour the dominions of the British Empire.

	Gordon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Gordon is supposed to be an experimental precursor of Sir Nigel Gresley's A1 Pacific design for the GNR in 1922, and conceived at the famous Doncaster Works in Yorkshire, affectionately known to locals as "The Plant".
		It thus became the LNER's top-link passenger locomotive for the next decade, until Gresley went in the wind-tunnel and produced the graceful streamlined A4, still the fastest steam engine on rails.
		Gordon was an experimental engine, built by the Great Northern Railway (before the LNER was formed in 1923) in 1922 of which later became the class A3 Pacifics (4-6-2), of which the Flying Scotsman is the only other survivor.

		The rapid enlargement of steam locomotives under the leadership of Henry Ivatt was followed by the long tenure of Nigel Gresley, culminating in his magnificent Pacifics, Green Arrows and Mikados, and 126mph.
		We start with his A1 Pacific No.1470, which was introduced in 1922, and move on to the A3, introduced in 1928.
		He has also used the LNER classification rather than the GNR, to which it was very similar in principle, but different in detail.

		The exchange itself was the outcome of claims and counter claims made at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in the summer of 1924, when both the Great Western and the LNER were showing off their latest, most powerful locomotives.
		Theoretically this was correct, the Castle's tractive effort was 31,656 lb as against the A3's 29,835, but this was of course entirely dependent on the engine being able to raise steam in sufficient quantity to match those figures.
		Amongst the crowd are several of the 'Top Brass' of the LNER, confidently expecting fun and games as the 'small' Great Western engine attempts to start the train up the bank to Holloway which proved such a challenge to their own Pacifics.

		Originally numbered 4498 by LNER, this loco was renumbered to 60007 in BR days.
		The A4 class (along with their predecessors) were 3 cylinder machines, and the valve action for the middle cylinder was derived from the two outer motions (themselves driven by Walschaert's valve gear) by a summing mechanism designed by (Sir) Nigel Gresley himself.

	Review: LNER Locomotives: Locomotive Performance
		Then from 1979 onwards there was main line steam, though so far as LNER locomotives were concerned, it usually meant two A4's (4498 and 60009) an A3 (4472) and a K1 2-6-0 (2005).
		But it was a different matter on several of the Heritage lines, where there was an increasing variety of ex LNER medium, small sized, and freight locomotives, which had to work hard on such lines as the North Yorkshire Moors, the East Lancashire, and Great Central lines.

		It is arguable that Flying Scotsman is the most famous steam locomotive in the world, but Mallard must give her a (fast) run for the money, since many will also know her as the fastest steam locomotive in the world, reaching 126mph down Stoke Bank in July 1938.

		The Flying Scotsman has achieved many ‘firsts’ throughout its career, including when it hit the headlines in 1934 during the course of a high speed trial between London and Leeds, when a fully authenticated 100mph was recorded for the first time.
		The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive number 4472 "Flying Scotsman" (originally no. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway at Doncaster Works to a design of Sir Nigel Gresley.
		It had removed the German-style smoke deflectors and fitted with the famous corridor tender as first fitted in 1928 to enable it to haul the first non-stop train from King’s Cross to Edinburgh on 1st May – the longest non-stop run in the world at the time.
