RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2021 1 hour ago, great northern said: A very close poll. D49 and B17 got 6 votes each, but were pipped at the post by the N2 with 7. Now Sir Nigel's most successful mixed traffic design. The runners are as follows:- J6 B16/2 J39 K2 K3 and V2. V4 for me, had Sir Nige not said good bye in 1941 there would have been lots of them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the V4 is not included in my list Clive. Only two ever produced, so who can say whether they were successful. I did put the B16/2 in for you, didn't I? Would there have been lots of V4s? I doubt it, as it was all about simplification of design on just about all regions post war, wasn't it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2021 Has to be the V2 as far as I'm concerned. Regards Chris H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 3rd Rail Exile Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yesterday's poll was beyond my limited knowledge of the LNER, but at least today I know that the V2 was very successful and highly regarded. So my vote goes there! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Welly Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2021 I liked both the J39s and the V2s but since the V2s are romping away - I'm going for the J39s! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNER4479 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 God loves a trier. (actually, to be fair, it's a better shout than the V4. I'll be interested in the adjudicator's adjudication...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2021 The V2, but a mention in dispatches for the K3, it's close for me. But a V2 on the Waverley Route - yeah, wins. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold jollysmart Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2021 So is it the V2 or the J39? On balance the V2 as it did virtually everything, very well and was much liked for its abilities, so that is why it won for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium thegreenhowards Posted April 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2021 V2, the finest Gresley design of all IMHO. As for the V4, nice engines and I wish more had been built, but probably over complicated for the job. if you’d put them on your list and left off the B16/2, Clive would have gone for the B16/2! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
