LNER Peppercorn Class A1/A2 LokSound V5 Sound Decoder
The Peppercorn Class A1 and A2 Pacifics were built to the designs of Arthur Peppercorn and originally ordered by the LNER. Only A2 No. 525 A. H. Peppercorn was delivered to the LNER, the rest being delivered to BR after nationalisation.
None of the original 49 Peppercorn A1s survived into preservation, with the last being scrapped in 1966. The 50th Peppercorn A1, 60163 Tornado, was completed in 2008 as an evolved member of its class.
One Peppercorn A2, 60532 Blue Peter has survived.
