RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2020 For me, the A4 and A8. The A3 is a close second though......... Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

British tank wise, probably an A5. Connor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted May 15, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2020 Fish from New Clee this morning. Followed by more coal. Now I shall start counting the poll results. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted May 15, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2020 A clear winner for the tender engine, the A3, with six votes. The tanks was a tie, three votes each for A5 and A8. Well, this seems to have been a good bit of fun, with plenty of contributions, and as I haven't come up with anything to replace it yet, I'll go along with Andy's suggestion, and so today the subject will be 2.6.4 tanks. Actually, there are quite a few to choose from, aren't there? If anyone has any ideas for something else we could deal with in the same way, I'd be grateful to hear suggestions. I've thought about things like Company architectural styles, for example, but would that engage your interest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) 2-6-4 tanks..... BR Standard 4, I think. The ex-Met L2s were a bit leggy for me and the Zeppelins were awful. What about coaches? Plenty to argue about there. I think the Gresley 58' cross country stock (your engineers coach) is about the best looking stock ever built, closely followed by the NER bow ended stock.

Woodcock29 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I vote for the Stanier 2-6-4T (2 cylinder version). The Thompson L1s are a bit too chunky. The less said about the ex GC L1 the better, although I have one I was given to be rebuilt for my layout! Andrew 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2020 The 9F on the coal is a splendid shot, even by PN standards. It shows the spacious nature of the layout, and the ability to reproduce realistic length trains, which not everyone can do. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I agree with Ian; that 9F shot is super. Though any shot with a 9F in has to be pretty good. I trust that the picture of the PLANT, which Gilbert posted a day or so ago, was in GARTER BLUE. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2020 2-6-4....easy City of Ripon going backwards. 2-6-4 tank, this is very difficult, on a good day it is a Fowler, sometimes a Stanier, sometimes a Riddles but normally a Fairburn. But today I am making a compromise and going to suggest a LMS/NCC class WT 2-6-4T. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted May 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hmm, I like the Fowler 2-6-4T with the original cab, but not the 'Limousine' cab. Then the Std 4. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium thegreenhowards Posted May 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2020 I’m not generally a great fan of the BR standards from an aesthetic point of view but the 2-6-4 tank is an exception. Great performers too. So they get my vote. Andy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
