Thank you for that

You might also find some inspiration in this thread.

I look forward to seeing your drawings and models.

On the LMS there were many possibilities:-

1924 Hughes design for Pacific

1924 Hughes design for Mikado

Both of the above appear as line drawings in E S Cox's book Locomotive Panorama

There was a Stanier 2-6-2 tender loco (intended as an answer to the V2) looked like a short Duchess with 6'0" wheels.

Also there was the Stanier 4-6-4 which was very much like a Duchess, except for 6'6" wheels and a firebox 18" longer (stoker fired 70 sq ft grate) and an 8 wheel tender.

Also the Stanier 4-8-4 with the same boiler as above but with a smokebox about 15" longer and 5'6" wheels.

There is an excellent book "Locomotives that never were" written and illustrated by Robin Barnes which incorporate these and many others.

Hope this helps.

It was quite popular in the 1980's for modellers to design their own locos based on a particular builder, for instance, designing a loco that William Adams might have built by combining features from various locomotive designs.

Just food for thought.

You are very right food for the thought

Thank you that will help me a lot

There was a proposal for a class 89 that was a stretched class 87 with 3 bogies. There was also a super deltic design as well.

I heard the rumors about the Super Deltic supposedly he wasnt built after the accident of the DP2 Prototype who ended any possible Development on the Deltics

Also Class 89 ?

Wasnt it the Electric engine named Avocet by Margaret Tatcher ?
