Very different front to this train.
David Birchall replied:
This is the streamlined design of the A4 class, of which 34 were built between 1935-1938. Very different to everything that had gone before. The streamlined casing originally covered the huge driving wheels but was removed after complaints that it made day to day maintenance too difficult.
