Therefore I should have correctly called them Stanier Class W. Had I done so someone would have said they were a Stewart design, remember Stewart was Stanier's man in Northern Ireland, so correctly they should be Stanier/Stewart Class W. Just winding you up . I think it was basically a tender version of a Fowler 2-6-4 tank although how Stewart managed to turn such a beautiful tank engine into such an ugly tender engine I have no idea.

jazzer Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Have we sorted out whether the A3 is basically a GNR A1 with a higher boiler pressure ? Seems like it to me so :- 1. A4 2. B1. Cheaply built but fastest up Hemerdon Bank in the 1948 Locomotive Exchanges albeit with a lighter load than the Pacific’s but a remarkable performance. 3. V2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly regarded as a new class at the time (1928), hence the designation. Admittedly not that different but you have to draw the line somewhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful LNER logic gave the reboilered A1 a new class number so acceptable in our poll but the reboilered O4s only received different part numbers, so they aren't. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the long travel valves! That was part of the magic behind your grand day out on 5th March 1935.

RMweb Premium great northern Posted May 8, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 8, 2021 Now to the poll. Much more exciting than some others which are apparently going on. I have allocated 3 points to first choices, 2 to second, and one to third. And the result is......In fifth place, with 10 points, the B1. In fourth place, with 13 points, the A1. Third with 23 points, the A3. Second, with 28 points, the A4. The clear winner, with 38 points the V2. Breaking it down a bit more, A4 and V2 both got 6 votes as first choice. The A4 got 13 votes in total, but the V2 got 19. and that, I think, shows that the V2 was regarded as the most effective and versatile LNER design. And who would disagree with that? 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
