Doncaster
'Just let me get this straight... you went away for a cuppa tea, and she was like this when you got back...' 60123 H A Ivatt at St James Bridge, Doncaster en route to works following crash recovery in the aftermath of the Offord collision of September 1962. Given the projected lifespan of main line steam, the Pacific was deemed a write-off and became the first A1 to be scrapped, when she was cut up at Doncaster Works a short time later.
