RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted April 30, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2021 J11 please. We once had a member of Leeds MRS who always wore a pom-pom hat, so naturally he was nicknamed J11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 30, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Newly oushopped 60054 is now standing at Platform 3, and I'm still trying to get some decent images from this side, as there are less obstructions between camera and train. The only real answer, I think, is thicker blinds to keep the glare out, but I will carry on experimenting. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted April 30, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2021 6 votes for the Directors, 4 for 04 and 3 for J11. Manna, a chap of great taste and discernment, voted for the beautiful C4 Jersey Lilies, as, to my surprise, did that enemy of the GCR, Clive. I considered multiplying their votes by ten, but I suppose I should remain neutral. What haven't we done? LBSCR, what was its best design? 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true (and the 0-6-2Ts are very nice) , but I wouldn't judge them as "best" or "more successful". Depends on exactly what your criteria are, I suppose...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2021 The naming of LBSCR locos was an added attraction for me, especially those modest, humdrum tanks named after lovely Sussex villages. And the radial tanks seemed a very sound design, harking back to the very end of Stroudley's reign with West Brighton, and increasing driver size though E3/4/5 by 6" every class. So E5, an 0-6-2 tank with 5'6" drivers, seems to be my choice. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
