The book "PENNSY POWER III" has a complete section on 'Class A' 0-4-0 Switchers.
Pictures of A2, A3, A3a ...and further.

As for A3's, the book mentions that they were originaly class 'U' and later changed to A3.
85 of these A3 switchers were built through 1905 by the Altoona, Pa. Machine Shops.
20 of the A3's were converted to tank engines , classified as A3a and tenders removed.
The A2 class looks almost the same as A3.
A2's were all tank engines.
** PENNSY POWER III ** $75.00
1847 - 1968
