Fenchurch was not the first A1 to be built, that was Wapping, but she was the first in service, and is still in service today, more than 130 years later. Various sizes of cylinder were used on these locomotives down the years, at different times 10 x 26, 12 x 26, 13 x 26 and 14 x 26 but Fenchurch capped 'em all by at one stage having 14 3/16 x 26! photograph by Ray Soper
