    THE failure of popular ‘A4’ No. 60009 with boiler tube issues at the start of October means there is currently no working ‘A4’. The streamlined loco is one of six survivors from the original LNER fleet of 35, with four already in museums (Nos. 60008 in the USA, 60010 in Canada, 60019 in Margate and 60022 in the NRM, York), although happily No. 60007 is approaching the end of an extensive overhaul that should see it back on the main line next year with Locomotive Services.
