EddieB Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I thought Bingley might have posted a QJ as in his profile picture. As an alternative here is DSB Q class no. 346 at Odense. R for Mullard? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingley hall Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Steamranger Heritage Railway's broad gauge (5'3") 4-6-0 Rx207 bowls along a few kilometres north of Goolwa, South Australia, with the afternoon return 'Southern Encounter' service from Victor Harbor to Mount Barker - 16 October 2016. Rx207 was built by North British Locomotive Co of Glasgow and delivered to the South Australian Railways in December 1913 to an improved design based on the original R class delivered to the SAR by Dubs & Co in 1885.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2017 As we are near the end I can use the Southern Railway slot for this one, although I also have a couple of Zs, which I can't then use - decisions - decisions. I am sure there's continental Z somewhere V might be a challenge or maybe not! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Streak Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Ta Da 2-8-2 WAGR V Class The Last class of Steam Engine constructed for the WAGR, they were built for the then Statewide 3' 6" gauge, but designed in such a way that they could be easily converted to Standard gauge, that was to be introduced in the late 60's. 24 Were ordered from Beyer and Peacock in Manchester who then subcontracted construction to Robert Stephenson's in Darlington. All 24 were delivered by November 1956, they were the most powerful non - articulated Steam Engine on the network. They were a favorite locomotive with crews and soon found a home on especially on the heavy Collie coal trains. With the blanket end of steam, they were all retired by 1972 (barely 16 years old), yet many of the 3'6" diesel locomotives that "immediately replaced" them, failed to pull the loads at the timings the Mighty V class could. Edit - just to point out that although these were built with the ability to more easily convert these to S/G, it never actually happened and they remained 3'6" gauge.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2017 I don't think we've had a British Railways loco yet, have we? The X has to be Chinese doesn't it? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Well we did have a British Railways IC125 - so I'd avoided Westerns and Warships. Just when I thought all the possibilities were exhausted, along came the Silverton Tramway W class 4-8-2 no. 25, one of three (out of a class of four) to have survived. Not a bad sized locomotive for a "tramway". X doesn't have to be Chinese - but some of my favourites would duplicate railways already represented. I have others, but let see what is forthcoming.

Probably we ought to go back to W, as I had missed the tiny IC125 hiding in the 'I' slot, when I skimmed through looking for BR locos. As they have moved on from Inter-City branding, I think of them a HST or 43s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Depends, are we counting the current operator, or the originating company? The HST was in East Coast operation, rather than being BR operated. Although I think the Rat under R would eliminate any further BR operated locomotives....

As they have moved on from Inter-City branding, I think of them a HST or 43s. No It was operated by a private company not BR itself (albeit owned by the state!) so I would let your BR Warship stand. They are still known as IC125s as well as HSTs, Class 43 wouldn't mean anything outside the railway world.
