RMweb Premium thegreenhowards Posted April 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2021 I’m tempted by the three Atlantics but the most successful must surely be the N1. This comfortably outlasted the Atlantics and bred the even more successful N2. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2021 Well, for this poll I’m also voting for the N1. Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manna Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 G'Day Folks I like all GN loco designs, but I'll have to go for the C2 'Small Atlantic' so very Elegant. (personal favorite, 3271, the inside cylindered one) manna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted April 7, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2021 So there we are then. Instead of a runaway win for the C1, it seems to have attracted only one vote. C2 and C12 both got 3, but the winner was the N1 with 5. Much though I like C12s, they have been described as "endearingly feeble", which I think is a very kind description. We should also consider Mr Ivatt's goods designs, so we'll do that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR L1 =LNER R1. There is an ulterior motive for everything Clive posts, but I couldn't work this one out. Then I looked up the class history, and found that the LNER toyed with the idea of converting them to diesel power. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
