Lovely collection Jenny. A4 Pacific’s are my favourites by far. Coming from Doncaster the birthplace of Mallard etc I’ve had a life long love of them. Mallard was still in service when I was a young lad Lovely memories. Great video Jenny. Thankyou for the great content

Smashing collection Jenny. Had the Hornby Mallard set when I was a lad, annoyingly my mum while I was at University donated all my locos, carriages, wagons, track and accessories to the Chruch jumble sale (mum was the churchwarden) needless to say when I found out a few years later when I was out of 1980's student slum accommodation I was, to say the least, a bit upset!

My first sight of an A4 was Mallard at the York National Railway Museum, back in the 1970s. I couldn't have imagined that and of these beautiful beasts would be roaming the mainlines well into the next century. I have a sweet little ringfield version of Guilemot acquired recently for a bargain price, and another from a Hornby trainset, the Golden Plover, and finally a TT:120 trainset A4 that is winging it's way to me as I type.

Great collection! Apart from Silverlink in grey, and one in wartime black, I have half a dozen in Garther Blue. The latest one is Kingfisher, bought after I saw your review of the set it came in.

Jenny!🚂🇨🇦 I have an OO Hornby Dominion of Canada. It is tender driven with a funky power transfer coupler. I noticed that none of yours had been tender driven. There is a video on my channel of the shipping of the DofC reenacted on my layout. A4s are hard to come by here🚂🇨🇦🇬🇧🚃🚃🚃🙋

New Zealand was home to the very first pacific locomotive, the Q class of 1901. So Dominion of New Zealand fits coincidentally in this regard.

Can't beat an A4 at speed, whether in real life or model form. Great video. The emotional connection with your dad was touching. Was there a reason why you didn't show the Purple A4 featured on your short video recently? It was pictured in the video thumbnail.

I too have an early interest in the A4. Of course, Mallard was the first one I’d seen in magazines.

Great collection of A4s! I remember seeing the Bachmann SNG when I was a child and really wanting it but had no layout at the time. Still don’t have any A4s but have Commonwealth of Australia and the Dublo Union of South Africa on pre order which I’m really excited about. I doubt I’ll ever have as many as you but will try and get all the Commonwealth ones at least!

Hi Jenny. Great video I am a great lover of A4s. I have 15 which is getting a lot for me. Having recently been looking into A4 details there are a couple you showed which I would question the tenders and crests. 60011 Empire of India had a corridor tender its whole life. The one you showed looked to me like an A3 tender which would explain the difference in wheels. 60003 received its double chimney in 1957 which most likely would have still been early crest. I find the BR database website useful to look up these details.

Hi Jenny A great collection of A4's there, although isn't there a model of 60009 Union Of South Africa? I would have thought as its been preserved for so long now someone would have a done a model of it (by the way its at Bury in Castlecroft shed 😉). Thanks

Hi Jenny, topic for a future video which I think would be good. What to do when you receive "new old stock". Due to the skyrocketing prices new old is becoming the de facto bargain for the hobby. Might be good to show what to do when you buy a new loco thats been sat in its box for, what could be 20 years. Putting a loco on the track without lubricating it could be a disaster

When I got back into model railways I had to have an A4. Question for anyone out there. Do any of the more modern A4's run on radius 1 curves. I sought out a tender drive as I knew they did. But the valve gear is just not up to the modern standards

Jennifer, I want to ask you something. Why do some people like to buy the A4 pacifics from Hornby and Bachmann? What is the main reason?

Might seem an odd question, but how different are A1/A3's and A4's, in terms of models? I mean like, could you buy a Hornby A1/A3, pop the bodyshell off, and replace it with an A4 shell?

Could they have steamed past the camera - in alphabetical order - sort of thing one would organise in real life if given a fortune. I had the dublo 2 rail Golden Fleece.
