this came at the cost of either discarding the Kylchap exhaust or the self-cleaning device in the smokebox, of which the former was omitted by the design team. A new smoke deflector design was fitted, although the omission of the Kylchap exhaust led to visibility issues during service. Some Gresley styled features returned in the form of the V-shaped cab and the 'Banjo Dome' steam collector. Much of the rest of the locomotive remained the same as the Thompson A2/3, utilising the same 250

Repainting in British Railways Brunswick green began the following year. Another 20 members of the class were also planned, but were put on hold and ultimately cancelled on 4 May 1948 after the 1948 Locomotive Exchanges. No. 60539 724:
comparable duties the A2's were heavier on fuel than the Gresley machines which pre-dated them, but for outright power and haulage capability, they were the logical successor to the P2 class, and finally provided the answer the Edinburgh-Aberdeen route required. As a result, they were amongst the last multi-cylindered express steam locomotive classes to remain in service in the UK.

This gave a tractive effort of 40,430 lb all whilst staying in a maximum axle load of 22 tonnes. The boiler utilised a small percentage of nickel plate for the barrel, saving 7cwt without compromising integrity. 639:

This was achieved by moving the outside cylinders forward over the leading truck and amending the steam ducts, shortening the smokebox and wheelbase while retaining the same cylinder and valve gear arrangement. However,

The class's 50 sq ft grate, a remnant of the P2 lineage (from both Thompson and Peppercorn) boilers, meant the A2's were capable of high power and endurance; however, with the exception of the Aberdeen road, there was little need for this large grate firebox in the postwar era, and as a result, on
