Well then, how much of the Southern V class would you need to change to “derbyfy” it? I mean you’re right about the firebox needing to be a Belpaire design, but besides the cab being change to accommodate the new firebox, I can’t really think of anything else.

I suppose that I should rephrase what I was trying to say earlier, I’d like to see what lms versions of those classes would look like, and I’d like some help working out the details if it’s not too much trouble.

I’d bet, there are plenty of engineers who have similar design philosophies.

Huh, I didn’t know that, thanks for the info.

Everyone, I’ve got an idea that I think would be interesting for any modelers here: what would it look like if Sir Henry Fowler took inspiration from some of Richard Maunsell’s designs, such as the Schools class, the U class and the Z class? I’m just curious what “Fowlerized” versions of these engines would look like. I’d draw them myself, but I need to work on my drawing skills more before I try that.

I know which one you’re talking about, and I think that’s pretty close to what I have in mind.

Gotcha, thanks for letting me know. I’ll see if I can commission someone to make it, or just draw it myself.

Is there some kind of illustration of them by any chance? I’ve seen and read this idea a few times and want to know if there’s any visual example of them.

Was it true that bulleid had plans for an Atlantic? (4-4-2) I remember seeing that on either this site or another.

Darn, well thanks anyway.

Alrighty then, I will, thanks for the tip.

I think I know the post you’re talking about, but, as with many other older posts on this thread, the pictures are gone, and I do t know if anyone has salvaged them. God, please tell me there’s a way to retrieve them without going through too many hoops.

Are there still any any pictures of what it would’ve looked like if the LMS bought Castles from the GWR? Just curious.

I personally think A Peppercorn A1 would work, and I personally think Black Agnes would be appropriate to name the engine, Agnes IS a folk hero, and having the engine named Black Agnes would lean into that theme of her being a well known figure

I see, $&@? It. Well, thanks for letting me know, is there is at least anything least of those hypothetical lms castles that someone made? Those sounded pretty neat
