jwealleans Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 There was a Mallard kit of the valanced D16. Not built one so I can't say whether that is one or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that with confidence, having remembered belatedly that I have a spreadsheet which tells me such things. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I will go with the C12 tank for this poll. Martyn 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNER4479 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 K3 for me. Very much the mixed traffic workhorse in the pre-war period, the V2s only coming on stream in squadron numbers in war time. Which is why we only have a couple of V2s on the roster for Grantham but plenty of K3s. The A1SLT has an eye on a K3 as Lot 4 or Lot 5 so maybe, one day ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium thegreenhowards Posted February 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2021 It’s not fair. We need more than one vote for the GNR! The K2 is worthy for the reasons given by Papyrus. I’ll omit the K3 on the basis that there is a preserved K4 and that’s basically the same engine with smaller wheels otherwise it would be a clear winner. But it comes down to two magnificent designs - the J6 and the C12 which I find it very difficult to chose between. In the end I’ll go C12 as there are very few Atlantic tanks from any company preserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Close run thing for me between the C12 and the K2 Ragtimers. I’ll go for the C12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted February 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2021 After a lot of thought I'm going for a K3. When I was young I spent a lot of time trainspotting around Nottingham and Grantham, so I have many favourite loco classes which I saw and wish had been preserved.

manna Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 G'Day Folks To many good GN loco's, the 4-4-0's did good mainline work, the J3'S lasted many years, but in the end it's got to be a C12. manna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted February 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2021 All the locos already mentioned are good contenders and I was very tempted by the C12 4-4-2T and the L1 0-8-2T - but I keep coming back to the 2-6-0s as being the real missing link. After weighing the pros and cons between the 2 cylinder and 3 cylinder 2-6-0s, my vote goes to the K3. Regards Chris H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted February 22, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2021 Very close this time, in fact no clear winner. K3 5 C12 5 J6 4 K2 3. Personally I feel that the lack on any of the long line of GN 0.6.0s leaves a real gap which should have been filled. That is despite my well known affection for C12s. Today I shall be inclusive, and invite votes concering any other pre grouping Company not specifically dealt with so far. The Furness and the Highland have been mentioned, as has my selfish monopoly of the M&GN. Over to you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNER4479 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) I don't think we did G&SWR did we?

RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted February 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2021 My vote goes to the Metropolitan Railway Class H 4-4-4Ts, a very smart loco type and a favourite of mine. From 1937 they became LNER Class H2, following transfer of the operation of the steam services north of Rickmansworth to the LNER.

Woodcock29 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've missed out looking in today of all days, until now. I have been torn between K3 and C12 - couldn't make up my mind and then I saw they tied. It is quite possible we'll see a K3 eventually from A1SLT. So in the end I would have gone for C12.
