    Its confusing but this is a peppercorn A2, and there is one preserved... 'Blue Peter' 60532
    Thompson converted some Gresley p2s and v2s, made a mess by making them both Pacifics (A2/1 and A2/2) and then started making them Pacifics from scratch based on these, designated A2/3.. these all had the extended frames due to his belief that the middle Con rod and the outside con rods should be the same length , they flexed and broke and were strong but rubbish... Peppercorn modified the A2/3 design and created the A1 and A2, and it is this A2 that you have here :)

      The whole A2 business was started by Thompson's jealousy of Gresley. First he mangled up the final batch of V2s, turning them into the A2/1, which only added steam-leakage problems and made a longer locomotive. Then he made a botch of the P2s by converting them into Pacifics that weren't good enough for the Edinburgh-Aberdeen line they were designed for, (it could have been said that the new Pacifics were designed around their con rods). The A2/3s were the best of the Thompson bunch, but still suffered from that ridiculously long chassis, with the outside cylinders set well back à la Swindon. Don't forget his vindictive destruction of the very first Gresley Pacific, No4470 'Great Northern', turned into possibly the ugliest locomotive ever to run in this country (including Bulleid's Q1).
      Peppercorn, saddled with already cast 6'2" drivers, rapidly rebuilt the chassis, turning his own A2 into a highly successful locomotive; however, even these weren't as versatile as the V2, nor, due to their relatively small drivers, as quick as the Gresley's Pacifics or Pep's own A1s.

  • @gearedloop3195
    @gearedloop3195 4 роки тому +1

    so this loco started as an already bizzare p2, got turned into the controversial thompson a2, and got minorly fixed by peppercorn, only to get preserved with tons of name changes along the way,

    Good fair review Sam.
    One has survived 532 Blue Peter and back in the 80's I had a ride behind her when she was visiting the Seven Valley.
    And re-the Thompson / Peppercorn debate. Thompsons A2 started out with two seperate designs. There was the A2/1 which consisted of four locomotives, started as Gresley V2 2-6-2's, but re-designed as pacifics to 'beef up' the design and over come some of the V2s short comings such as issues with the leading pony truck. These were followed by the A2/2's which were rebuilds of Gresleys, good looking but sadly flawed P2 2-8-2s, which were causing no end of issues to the LNER's traffic division and needed to be delt with sharpish. While is was happening Peppercorn, who was Thompsons assistant, was using the lessons learned from the rebuild batches to develop a new standard 'light' pacific. These locos differed from the Thompson A2s in a number of ways including a shorter front boogie, a slightly different spacing of the driving wheels and changes to the cab, firebox and smokebox design. In effect they used the best ideas of both Gresley and Thompson, and as they appeared after Thompsons retirement and differed somewhere from his A2 rebuilds they were given the class designation A2/3 and credited to Peppercorn. Although they were mainly 'light' pacifics for mixed traffic work, they were competent locos, capable of 100mph running and members of the class based at York often filled in for failed A1s, A3s and A4s with much success. It was the rebuilt A2/1, A2/2 that issues with the wheelbase not the A2/3, but that was cos Thompson was working with pre-existing designs and was one of the issues that Peppercorn was tasked to overcome.
    Keep up the good work
    Jon

  • @paulcaswell2813
    @paulcaswell2813 4 місяці тому

    What I will say regarding the inside valve gear is that the Pep (and Thompson) Pacifics had divided drive, meaning that although the outside cylinders drove the centre drivers, the inside drove the leading axle: as a result, the motion is pretty deep within the frames at the point shown. Unless on is extremely close to the prototype, one will see very little except a hole (which should have been modelled, I agree.

  • @paulcaswell2813
    @paulcaswell2813 5 місяців тому

    Good to see that Bachmann correctly make two versions of that tender: Darlington-built (with flush rivets), and Doncaster-built (with snap-heads, as in your model). A good example of 'getting it right'. You mentioned detail between the frames: this is where British outline fails miserably compared with continental HO. Take a look at a firm such as Roco to see what CAN be done with detail work, or, at an extreme price, Fulgurex: if you've never seen them (the latter especially), your eyes will water! Even at Roco level, the Walschaert's gear actually moves with valve spindle, for instance. You mention £200 as being 'expensive' - a similar model by Fulgurex would be something like £1500! But you do get what you pay for. Take a look at Roco's SNCF 231E and look at the OC valve gear in action, not to mention the other fine detail. If you've never looked at continental HO, be prepared for something of a shock. That last loco is about £500 at current prices.
    PS - for authenticity there SHOULD have been wheelslip LOL!

    Your A2 is definitely a bit older than the one I purchased last year. I bought the 120+ quid Pearl Diver in BR green late, and my model has tender connections, a much more detailed cab including a brown cab floor, I belive small roof slats (can't remember if they move), and tender pickups as well as a 21pin chip with possibility for sound.
    Glad you finally got an A2 though. Definitely one of my all time favorites.
    One thing about quality control though, I don't know if this is Bachmann's fault or Hattons', but my A2 had the small plastic piece on the tender where the drawbar connects broken in the box. I did have the model chipped, so my theory is that Hattons' broke it, but a good amount of glue fixed it.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  5 років тому +1

      Hi Josh - ahh that's good to hear - very glad they've updated it then! Hmm, that's unusual - to be honest, you do get a lot of models that arrive broken in the box, but it is possible that this happened at Hatton's - although they are very careful! If you're not happy about it, get in touch and let them know - I'm sure they'll help if they can? :D

    • @joshmorrell7198
      @joshmorrell7198 5 років тому

      Ah, doubt they would help now; it has been over a year and when the model first arrived, I had accidentally dropped it when trying to repair that tender connection. Model was surprisingly fine, considering it landed with boiler landing on the rubber handle of a hammer a meter below my table. Some fragile bits broke (has been since fixed), but model still ran perfectly fine. Should have just sent it back when it first arrived, but I live in the US so postage would have been costly. Live and learn I suppose.

    • @joshmorrell7198
      @joshmorrell7198 5 років тому

      I must apologise as there is a mistake in my comments. I said that my A2 had tender pickups. After looking over the model recently, it does not have tender pickups. Again sorry about that.

    I don't know why Edward Thompson would think its a good idea to scrap up Gresley's P2 and change it into a A2 design with a 4-6-2 instead of a 2-8-2 design. But both did get scrapped anyway towards the end of the steam era. At least we still have both the P2 and A2 in model form. BTW, the A2 looks very similar to the A1 by Peppercorn.

      Well, the P2's weren't flawless; they had very high fuel consumption, their frames were cracking due to their long wheelbases, and had a tendency to wreck their crank axles at low speed when starting heavy trains; by my understanding, come 1943, and the poor maintenance conditions brought on by the war, the P2's were, to use a technical term, 'mechanically shagged'.

    Great review Sam, shame there are no tender pickups though that would have helped tremendously. Even so at least you still have an excellent addition to your fleet. I think Bachmann need to do a retooling on the Peppercorn A2 including tender pickups, even though there were only 15 built of the real Peppercorn A2. I look forward to your next video as always. Keep well and stay safe, regards Gary.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  5 років тому

      Thanks a lot mate - I'm told that newer versions do have the extra pickups, just sadly the one I have doesn't! I agree though - overall I['m really happy with this!! :D

      It was pretty obvious TBH. The price of this is terrible. I didn't know the LNER built the A2's after the A4's and by Thompson and peppercorn not Gresley. That's extremely odd IMO

  • @ianhaynes5898
    @ianhaynes5898 5 років тому

    Looks pretty good and importantly it pulls well. I have to say that I think Bachmann do better diesels than steam and you get a driver with the diesels. Just one more thing, I looked up 'Bacholor's Button' and found out that it is another name for the cornflower.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  5 років тому

    • @SamsTrains

      I agree Heath - very terrifying! I'd advise against paying £179 for that set - your local model shop is ripping you off! There's one on Ebay for £161, brand new - and even that's expensive!!
