I am sorry for not recognizing where this forum lies, I realize that this is O scale. I am new to this site.

I mean, we could do that, have the pre-war loco (No. 181 Brown Trout) be the first of the class, then get rebuilt into the post-war version (No. 4800 Brown Trout), and when Collet becomes CME he gives Grange frames to about half of the worn-out Churchward 4-6-0s, and rebuilds the other half with Castle boilers as an successful experiment.

I just want to ask, what scale are you modeling in?

I can tell the difference, I'm just asking if we should use the grange with a Churchward cab, or Brown Trout, our more reasonable version of it.

For the base look of our class should we use: This one ^, Or this one ^?

Thanks for that. On another note, how many of them should or were going to be built, what time frame, and where they might have been built? (I'm making a faux Wikipedia article [not posting it on there, just Google Docs] on the Churchward Granges [aka. Fish class as I like to call them])

So is the Churchward Grange a mixed traffic loco, like the 43XX class, but longer?

Could you give me more details to work with? I don't think I'm getting the full picture.

Could I have a drawing or a diagram of what you are talking about?

On the topic of never-were locomotives, what are some other pre-grouping locos that never-were, or might have been "were"?

Ooh, speaking of hopper bunkers, how excited are you guys for the new NER Class O model coming to TMC exclusively by Bachmann, and the new-build No. 1759?

I agree, If I didn't know better, I would have said this looks like an American locomotive. It would be nice to see what this would look like if the DP-1 had knuckle couplers.

I disagree, the I3s were really great, they had larger fireboxes and were essentially a tank version of Billinton's B4 class.

Yes, reject steam, return to horse.

Got it, thanks.
