RMweb Premium great northern Posted May 13, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 13, 2020 It is very nice to see some new contributors to the thread, who have tried to contribute to the 4.6.0 poll. I have to refer them though to the small print, very small actually, which set out the criteria needed to qualify to do so. It is clearly stated in para 98 that a probationary period of one month must be served before poll participation is permitted. Thus, for some who have promoted one particular class of locomotive, it is literally a case of "Castles in the air" The Management. 1 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted May 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 13, 2020 Well, as Gilbert is always a majority of one on his own thread, we all know the B17 will win......gawky things with too-big wheels. Personally I'd go for a GCR 'Lord Faringdon'. The Black 5 gets a distinguished service cross though. Ban coming up..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed a great idea when my mate suggested we ride from Bedford to there after all it couldn't be that far as there is a Kimbolton Road in Bedford. 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2750Papyrus Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I've previously mentioned the GC Immingham and been reminded that the 4-6-0 equivalent to a Jersey Lily is the original B1, both of which are high on the list but I have to vote for my all-time second favourite loco, a B17 with group standard tender. 2 minutes ago, New Haven Neil said: Thanks.

We did but needed to get back as fast as we could before it was dark as we didn't have our lights with us. No, it was dark by the time we got home and I got a telling off for being so stupid as to go that far without out my lights in the dark and there was no tea for me because I was late home. Can't remember a thing about Kimbolton. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted May 13, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2020 Soon be time for bed, as I haven't walked nearly seven miles in one go for quite a long time. What a lovely change though, and my back isn't even protesting much. One last look at Green Arrow tonight. I've just cursed myself for failing to notice a blob in the sky of this image when photoshopping, before finally realising that it was in fact a small insect which had splatted itself against the monitor. Gone now, poor little thing. We next see a Spital Bridge B1 on the 8.10 from East to Leicester, often double headed according to RO, and on one occasion triple headed, but not this time. 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manna Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 G'Day Folks Gilbert, thanks for reminding us that the best 4-6-0 in the country is a V2...........................................After Gresley had played with it. manna 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 13, 2020 Definitely the lovely B17/1. One of Gresley’s finest engines. Beautifully modelled by Hornby too. Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCGWR Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The Most Elegant 4-6-0 has to be a Great Western Hall (with 4000g Collett tender) without a doubt, probably followed by a Castle. For me there are a number of better looking LNER 4-6-0s than the B17, not well proportioned with those big wheels, a Thompson B1 has a much better balance to it. A B12/3 or a GCR 4-6-0 have to be my picks for a LNER based ten wheeler. Connor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodcock29 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Well this one is difficult as there are a lot of lovely 4-6-0s and I have models of quite a number of them. But I need to stick with my main interest for this, the LNER, so for me it's the B4 because of its proportions and elegance and I've still got to build the one I've had for probably 20 years or more! Mind you I do like the Jubilee, Black 5, B17 and most of the ex GC 4-6-0s. Andrew 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted May 14, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2020 The morning photos first, before I rig, I mean count, the 4.6.0. votes. 61098 is waiting time with the second Down Cleethorpes semi fast. Then from the bridge we see a WD getting a rare run through on the main, but it will nevertheless just be taking vans and empties into the yards. 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
