This started a long time ago when talking to Lincoln Locos about a possible use for the Duchess chassis when it came out. At the time I stupidly thought it would be a slightly modified A1/3 design so I provided the basic dimensions to fit that chassis.
Once the Duchess was here on Thursday, and the Royal Scot arrived yesterday, I realised that Hornby had made a completely different design and there was no way it was going to work.
Plan B, I would use the A1 chassis, the Duchess tender chassis and somehow fit the Duchess valve gear to the A1 chassis. The first two parts have been successfully done. The body to the chassis (once cut down) fitted a treat so now I have to think about the valve gear.
I do have plans in place for the Duchess chassis, hopefully.
