#lner w1

What are they doing?

They're express engines. They're discussing the state of the railway (gossiping)

but fun thing, there are only 4 A4s here

far right isn't an A4, it's Hush Hush

yep, the LNER's rebuilt white elephant. By all acounts I've found, post rebuild she was just a non-standard A4. Although it is worth noting Gresley was considing rebuild the A4s with the boiler fit to no.10000, so he was impressed with that at part of the rebuild at least.

heading left, we have Golden Eagle

Empire of India (my beloved)

Golden Shuttle, who was later renamed Dwight D. Eisenhower and Preserved

and Dominion of New Zealand

Green Arrow, do you know why the other LNER engines hate the W1 so much? (Also, you're my favorite.)

Green Arrow: Other engines opinions of you essentially comes down to how you performed and more importantly how Sir Gresley percieved you. A lot of the engines on the Flying Scotsman's express prided themselves on certain values and that was to perform well, look spotless and be affable and pleasant to passengers. (Why Great Northern worked on the line I have no idea).

The Hush Hush was considered bulky and ugly, ignored passengers and was considered a failure by the Gresley himself and so they where very much outcast because of it and 'Galloping Sausage' became a nasty nickname for it.

You don't ignore passengers on the Flying Scotsman Line. It's just not accepted. Passenger hospitality is their number one concern.

The Flying Scotsman line was like the celebrity line of the LNER. Engines strived to be on it and if you were rejected from by either the engines or the directors, like the W1 was, then you were effectively doomed.

So there was a lot of reasons why W1 was never liked.

(Nice to know someone has TASTE!)
