Hi Peter. I own 3 of them, one in Southern livery, one in BR era 1 livery (heavily weathered by Craig @ Iron Horse Railways), and one in BR era 2 livery. The Q1 is one of my favourite designs because, in my opinion, the 'beauty' of them was in their ugliness. They were constructed of rust-proof material with a wooden floor in the cab (which C1 in the NRM at York still has) to fall in line with the austerity measures imposed during WWII. That explains why she looks 'stripped down' with none of the features of the Pacifics and were mainly used to convey freight and, no doubt, troops and weapons. Truly a unique looking steam locomotive. Paul. ❤

I didn't think it was an ugly loco when I was there- just sort of a utilitarian creation. Cool video!

Nice video Peter. Yeah, the Q1 was ugly in comparison but a powerful loco for its size (ugly/pretty?). Keep Safe, sir. Cheers!
