What I was trying to say, and not very well, was that we have ended up with some very prestigious locos thanks to a certain scrapyard! But you are right regarding the A3s of course, all went except for Flying Scotsman. I never saw any A3s in service as they had all gone by the time I knew what an A3 was. The loco shed in my current home town must have been fantastic in steam days, having quite an allocation of A3s, A2s, A1s, B12s, B1s A5s etc.
