RMweb Gold jollysmart Posted March 29, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2021 I'll go with the M7 today, just because I like them and their style as well as their longevity 65 years service isn't a short working life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 29, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2021 I’m going with the lovely T9 too. Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted March 29, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2021 My vote goes to the beautiful and successful T9 4-4-0 - which brings back memories of seeing No 120 in the LSWR Urie lined light green livery running around circa 1960 - with much younger BR(s) green coaches (I think they were Bulleid types mainly?). The M7 tanks and "Black Motors" (Class 700 0-6-0s) were also rather marvellous, but the T9s took the lead as the successful "Fliers".

Flying Fox 34F Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The success of the T9 is more to do with Urie’s rebuilding of the class to remove the unsuccessful Drummond features and applying the best form of Superheating. Therefore, I’ll vote for the M7. Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted March 29, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2021 Golf was awful, but the company was good, and the weather lovely. And my new Fitbit says that golf is intensive exercise, so ***** to the sniffy doctors who say it isn't. Here is Curlew again, a little bit closer. 27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very reminiscent of photos of the prototype in your chosen time frame. You could see that coming from a Railways Illustrated article.

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted March 30, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2021 Curlew now running alongside the platform, and passing the resting C12. and soon waiting time, far short of where expresses usually stand, but with only eight on the whole train is comfortably alongside the platform. Goodies due to be delivered today, so hopefully more later. 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted March 30, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2021 A lot more enthusiasm for Drummond. Two main contenders, and it finished T9 8 M7 6. Let's stay down south, and consider his successor, Urie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2021 S15. A good old workhorse that could pinch-hit for most services, despite being designed for heavy freight. One used to pass near my house in the early 60s, mid-evening. Maunsell refined and improved them, but the basic design must have been right for two more batches to be built by Southern.

LNER4479 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Beat me to it by a short head - Having googled 'Urie Locomotives' it appears that the S15 was a Urie LSWR design from 1920. Seems to have been a reasonably successful loco and quite a few survive into preservation. No.(30)506, now up and running on the Mid-Hants after a 18 year rebuild (hats off to the lad n lassies involved), is one of the two genuine LSWR survivors. So, it's S15 from me as well.
