Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, the A1/A3 Pacifics were a large class, introduced in 1922. Only two were completed before the Great Northern Railway became part of the LNER in 1923, Flying Scotsman, the most famous of the class, arrived in 1923. Coronach was a later member of the class, leaving the works at Doncaster in December 1928. As such it was built as an A3 and was not an A1 converted later to an A3. The locomotive was decommissioned in April 1962 and scrapped. Its final shed had been Carlisle (Canal).
