4   GER/LNER J20 (64675-64699) A nice to have, but with its very long wheelbase, not sure its for the r-t-r market.

Hello Paul and everyone

 

Sorry for slight delay in coming back on this item...

 

A Poll Team colleague had to dispose of some kit-built locos for the wife of a deceased friend recently. One was a J20 which came to me. It goes round 2nd radius curves with consummate ease so - I would guess - a manufacturer would be able to make a RTR version do the same.

Ivatt 4s always seem to get photographed incoming, so I decided to show one on the way out. The carriages are going to Yarmouth Beach, but the locomotive only as far as South Lynn.

That weathered Gresley brake is a work of art.

4-6-0

8   NER B16/1 (in range 61410-61478, but some are B16/2 or B16/3)   

9   NER/LNER B16/2 (in range 61435-61457, but some are B16/3 and most B16/1)

Hi Brian,

 

My votes as follows:

 

0-6-0T

2   GER J67/J68/J69 (68491-68666)

 

0-6-0

7   LNER J39 (64700-64988)

 

13  LNER K2 2-6-0

 

My votes are a little limited, on the basis of your criteria of what I would realistically buy.

 

Unlike the J52, the J69s were quite widespread - I believe they were regarded as a 'standard' LNER engine for shunting duties, eg Trafford Park shed Manchester for shunting ex-CLC goods yards

 

J39 similarly, unlike the others which were more parochial

 

K2?(!) Or is that going to feature in the 1st passenger poll? (in which case I withdraw my comment, other than to highlight the Scottish K2s (the 'Lochs') which again have greater appeal as there were seen outside their native GNR territory. Also seen on ex-GER lines, I understand.)

No Pre-Grouping shunting interludes at Central then? Very restrained!

Hello LNER4479

 

Yes, the K2 will be in the Passenger - Tender Mini-Poll.

There's a picture of one at work in the goods yard alongside the station in one of the Foxline books ... but I think it's LNER era. But - hey - it's close enough. I'd buy one RTR for that reason alone.

The 4 allocated to Trafford Park to shunt Deansgate Goods for a period in GN days were what I was thinking of. Were you thinking of the LNER J54 photo?

Nope - page 28 of Foxline No.16 (Part 1). No.7198 shunting Central goods yard, viewed from the station in the 1930s

Ah we are talking at cross-purposes! I was thinking of the Manc J52s. You're safe with the J67/69s until early 1957; 68583 being the last to go I think.

Brian my votes are for:

2 - I've long thought we'd get a J69 given the member in the National Collection, their longevity and wide useage.

3 - definitely the missing ex GN loco. Although I have one running and two more to build I would buy a RTR version

8 - a missing ex NE loco which I think would be quite popular.

.

However, I wouldn't buy a P1 as there were only 2 and I've already got one Crownline conversion I built almost 30 years ago - definitely one of my favourites.
