To Ken and all--a Merry Christmas (Ken, I tried to PM, but it's not working for some reason). I also have a British train question. Was there a such loco as a "W1" ? I read something about one, which looked like an A4, but I had never heard of it. What's up?? Chris

| Thanks, Ken, I knew of the Hush Hush (with water-tube boiler), but I didn't realize it was rebuilt to look just like an A4--except for the 4 wheel trailing truck.
