There might be some bits on there if they were on the P2 as well, I can't say for certain. There are definitely several bits of your V2 on there though...
Just out of curiosity, will the A3 have ARN. I have already had a friend tell me they will convince you if you say no, lol.

I have always put 4472 Flying Scotsman (preferably in Pegler form) as my favourite A3, however 4475 "Flying Fox" was a good second, I like her alliteration and importantly, her GNR tender, so ARN to include 4475 (I could use the GNR tender off trainboi1's GNR H4 if a GNR tender is not included in the A3 pack)but 4475 would be nice, if you are considering it. For me it's mainly Flying Scotsman that I am excited about, and don't care if it's the only A3, but Flying Fox would be nice, if you are considering doing auto running numbers and multiple names.

I've always liked those cars, thanks for making them.

I put the bowls for the bucking polls on the pilot of the locomotive. I hope ya'll know what bucking polls are.

The initial version will be a Pegler era Flying Scotsman. From there I will probably do an LNER era left hand drive A3 with auto-numbering possibly followed by early BR liveries. Moving from there to a right hand drive version probably wouldn't be difficult. Finally there is the possibly of backdating to an A1, but there I make no promises for this. With regard to specific locomotives (eg Flying Fox) I will have to check my data tables to find out when they received various rebuilds, however I think Flying Fox spent its entire LNER owned existence as an A1 (so won't be complete for a while). To complicate matters further there are 2 different types of A3 boiler (Diag. 94HP with round dome and Diag. 94A with banjo dome). There were also some one offs such as Humorist with Kylchap exhaust and wing type deflectors and a couple of locos with feed water heaters. With regard to tenders, the full selection of required designs will be available.
Edh6, that Flying Scotsman is looking beautiful. Such quick progression. I already love the red nameplates, those classic Pegler colour details! Oh and Flying Fox was rebuilt in March of 1947, under BR. Will one of the variations be Pegler's Americanised 4472 (bell,cow catcher, and large light added in year 2)? I am not asking for you to build one, simply wondering since you mentioned multiple forms.

Flying Fox is one of my favourites as well! Such a fitting name, especially compared to some of the other A1/3s names which are rather silly. Gay Crusader, anyone?
Saturnr- if 4475 was rebuilt in 1947, it would have almost certainly carried LNER Green as a A3, but carrying the number 106 and it probably wouldn't have had any tender lettering when initially outshopped. At some point a bit later on it will have gained it's full BR number of 60106 and British Railways lettering on the tender.

Whilst this is obviously true, you can't deny the LNER gave the A1s and A3s some daft names (although that's rather to be expected when you choose the names of racehorses). I think Pretty Polly and Captain Cuttle are probably my favourites...
Trainboi's V2 parts are coming in useful in building the valve gear:
I figured it probably was in NE unlined black during the transitional period, but LNER/BR transition Apple green is likely too.
Saturnr. Engine is looking even better edh6!

Edh6, that is a thing of beauty! Can't wait to see it in game!
As for the silly names, don't forget Blink Bonny, Spion Kop and of course Gallopin'.

Good to know...that you have no excuse for not modelling the conjugated valve gear and inside cylinder!
(well okay, I suppose the inside cylinder rodding could theoretically be left out because the solid frames would make it virtually invisible but still)

My favourite A1/A3 would be 2553 which was renamed Prince of Wales on 11 November 1926 following the visit of the future King Edward VIII to Doncaster Works a few days earlier; no. 2553 was one of the locomotives he had inspected there. It later hauled one Royal train of the troubled king northwards prior the Abdication saga. Even in B.R service, it was still called upon to cater for HRH Prince Of Wales - Prince Charles on his trips to Scotland to either Balmoral or School during the early 1950s and early prior to withdraw from service in 1964!
