2750Papyrus 1,073 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Wolf of Badenoch is a wonderful name but I cannot support it as a favourite in rebuilt form. So my vote goes for Tudor Minstrel, a melodious sounding name. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post great northern 127,103 Posted January 3 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 3 As we rarely see an 01 coming through PN, we will have a close up. They were to be seen on the Midland lines, but we don't have that option. 27 Link to post Share on other sites
Woodcock29 2,212 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Tudor Minstrel the name I applied to the DJH A2 I built for my Dad back in the 80s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
great northern 127,103 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Perhaps I should have had separate polls for all the sub classes. Would you like to do that?. This one was close as well, with 12 different locos put forward. Blue Peter won with 4, followed by The Wolf and Tudor Minstrel with 3. I will split the vote for worst names anyway. Worst name in classes A2/1 and A2/2 please. Link to post Share on other sites

Worst name in classes A2/1 and A2/2 please. Now you've confused me, Gilbert. My 1955 ABC reprint lists two different types of A2, plus A2/1, A2/2 and A2/3. Have I missed something?
