Popular Post great northern 127,082 Posted January 14 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 14 Thane of Fife has replaced Sir Vincent at the head of the Sunderland, and waits for the off. How much more effective would this be if I had just closed the gap between those wagons on the left? 27 1 Link to post Share on other sites

great northern 127,082 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 I overcomplicated this poll, but I think I've accounted for the changes I caused. Lots of suggestions, but strong antipodean influence resulted in New South Wales with 3 votes as the winner, four others with 2. Right, now to the Admirals, Battles and Warships. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Metropolitan H 1,097 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I thought about voting for "Raleigh" as my first bicycle was one of theirs, but then I thought some more and decided to vote for; "Novelty" - which sort of sums up my knowledge of this class!

LNER4479 19,961 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Well, in this case, I'll leave others to nominate some of those stirring names and I'll stick with 5690 'Leander'. Very much a favourite amongst preserved locos for me, I remember her arriving at Dinting in 1973, fresh out of Derby works with one of the most stunning livery applications ever to adorn a preserved loco. Don't care much for the black livery she currently carries. And to anyone who says LMS Jubilees don't do much for them, take a look at this bit of video and tell me that the hairs didn't stand up on the back of your neck ... a bit 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites

2750Papyrus 1,073 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have to confess to owning a model of Leander, but primarily because Mrs 2750 was fed up with looking at green and black engines. Though not a Jubilee fan, I am interested in naval history and the class does commemorate some famous warships and admirals. My vote goes for Shovell (Sir Cloudesley), perhaps less well celebrated than those who fought in the Elizabethan or Napoleonic wars and now possibly best known for his loss in the Association shipwreck in the Scilly Isles. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
