Hello all,
My next scratchbuilding project is an A5 in BR lined black, by way of something different and to finally(!) give my proposed layout some ex-LNE motive power. However, I'm a bit unsure about the buffers; Nick Campling's drawing from a 1973 RM depicts an LNER-era loco with round rear buffers but oval fronts. All of my Ian Allan ABCs don't give much of a bunker-end view, so I'm not sure whether the spec stayed the same or was altered later in their careers (I'm thinking they may have ended up all-oval). Any light shed on this will be greatly welcomed.
Regards, David
