On this occasion, despite being a 'suvvern' company, I feel a little bit more knowledgeable about the LSWR, partly due to this loco build project from 20 years ago. So I'll vote for a Paddlebox as well, although I'm not sure whether it's actually a 'much missed' / iconic loco? One of those pre-grouping attempts to 'crack' the 4-cyl 4-6-0 concept that only the pre-group GWR actually managed successfully.

jazzer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 When I was about 10. I was obsessed with T .14 Paddleboxes . I spent countless hours drawing them , or variations of them . I couldn’t believe that such lovely looking engines could have been scrapped before I knew anything about them . Time moved on and my affections changed over the years, but for old times sake the T14 gets my vote today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't disagree with that ... although I always say that the best product ever to come out of Swindon was given away to the LMS in 1932. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmcg Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Is it too late to vote for a Thompson O1 as the most worthy engine and model which was never saved?

Tiny shafts of light sneaking through the blinds, if you are wondering what caused those peculiar bands on the tender. Actually Gilbert those types of reflection are exactly what occurred in the real world and are almost never captured in photos of models.

RMweb Premium great northern Posted February 17, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17, 2021 Big tanks versus Paddlebox this time. T14 pulled away with 8 votes to win comfortably. Right, we've been to the North, and to the North West, then flew down South, but I think the time has come to turn our attention to the East, where things will get more difficult, not least because so shamefully few locomotives from the dry side were saved. We will start with the North Eastern Railway, and another reminder that we are after the most glaring omission from the very substantial ranks of locomotives from that Company.

LNER4479 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Good choice. NER does at least have some reasonable representation in preservation, partly due to the more history / publicity conscious efforts of the LNER (aware of the S&D heritage) and also NELPG at the end of steam. However, many classes still to choose from. By all accounts, the 'Z' Atlantics were highly thought of so I'll go for that type. Although I suspect the B16 will feature highly in this one...
