The delightful E for me please.

61630 now gets roused from its slumber by the coaling stage, and finds itself at the head of the 4.32 to Harwich.

 

 

[great northern]

Another draw today, H 4 E 4.

 

Up north now, Mr Reid of the North British Railway.

[St Enodoc]

The Glens for me please.

[sandra]

The NB Atlantic’s for me. LNER class C11. Such a shame that “Midlothian” was not preserved.

[Metropolitan H]

The NBR Atlantics get my vote - LNER class C11. I appears they were well regarded locos - but not enough of then to be kept going when the A1s were proliferated.

[Market65]

The NBR Atlantic, class C11 in LNER days for me too please.

 

Rob.

[jollysmart]

NBR  Atlantic for me as well, a much liked engine and very competent by all accounts.

[David Bell]

C15 4-4-2T

[DaveF]

North British Railway Atlantic for me.

 

David

[New Haven Neil]

Oh, the J37 for meplease, sticking up for the underdog goods loco.  A large imposing looking design, tough as you like.  The Atlantics run it close though!

[mullie]

All these unfamiliar lines, I've had to do some research. The C15 4-4-2 tanks get my vote.

 

There do seem to be some lovely locos including some singles and 4-4-0 tanks as well as the lovely C11 Atlantics.

New Mills Central, on the 'old' Midland route out of Manchester, the junction for the Hayfield branch until 1970

 

 

(Wikipedia picture)

Some might argue Midland / CLC joint, as the Hayfield branch was operated by GCR / LNER motive power under the usual CLC arrangement but otherwise the route onwards to New Mills South Junction and the trunk Midland main line is pure Midland.

 

Argue they might, but they'd be wrong! The line was GC & Midland Joint, later LNER & LMS; no sniff of the CLC.

 

It is (still) a spectacular location though.

In this series of polls I thought it was a class that gave a good and long service so I am going with J37.

 

For looks which Gilbert asked for last time then it would have been an Atlantic.

[2750Papyrus]

I agree with Clive, J37 this time, Atlantic last.

[Woodcock29]

J37 for me as well.

[great northern]

And finally, after a twenty minute rest, the 9F heads off, final destination York.

Note a vote for this poll but a suggestion for a future one after the designers round-Locomotives (of specific types) from around the world. Should bring up some interesting options.

[60027Merlin]

J37  as I voted for the Atlantic previously.

 

They were powerful locos lasting until 1966.

There seems to be a trend at the moment for calling locomotives "cute". I have to say I find that a misnomer for some that have been so described. This morning, however, I put forward my own candidate for cuteness.

 

 

I rest my case.

Can't see it? - there's a J15 getting in the way.

[Rail-Online]

J37 for me as well, although the N15 was also a very useful and forgotten NBR class

Well, that starts another poll. Is this the naughtiest post ever on this thread? And now I shall close the poll - it is.

Hmmm. That would require a volunteer to run it, as my knowledge of other railways is shamefully small.
