RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted February 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2021 Single no.123 is preserved - but then there are a lot of smart and well respected types of 4-4-0 and 4-6-0 locos that have all gone. However, I too will vote for the Class 944 4-6-2Ts, yet another very smart and capable large tank loco. Regards Chris H 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit like a flu jab, which may be because there are some similarities. Glad you are ok. Can we have more of Rothesay? I have just bought Bill Hoole's biography and he was the driver in 1947 ? leaving Edinburgh on the up fast and Rothesay derailed the rear axle of the front bogie in short tunnel at 70mph and went 110 metres destroying track the eventually engine turned on its side and under a bridge and he survived, the poor fireman didn't. 11-on, no passengers killed.

LNER4479 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Well, it's not going to 'win' but, with a healthy degree of bias, I'm going to nominate a Pickersgill 4-4-0, the last in the line (I believe?) of the classic CR 4-4-0 types. I think the ones before were called the Dunalistairs (did I get that right?). Anyway, nominating the type 'cos ... I built one! Or, more precisely, finished off one that a modelling friend once started. Scratchbuilt, to boot. Some of the last members of the class (included this one) lasted until 1960 and this loco and sister 54486 were specially tarted up for some filming for the BBC Railway Roundabout series. Although the Scottish Region deserves a lot of credit for saving other similar locos, wouldn't it have been great if this had been one of them? (Although the Caley 'single' is indeed a lovely survivor) 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although the Caley 'single' is indeed a lovely survivor) That's a great choice. I think there is a "nearly Dunalistair" preserved in Belgium. They had a few substantially similar locos there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted February 13, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2021 Difficult decision on this poll. Cardean got 4 votes to Wemyss Bay tanks 3...... but as Clive has been making the rules ever more flexible, what if I was to say that Graham's suggestion of the lovely Pickersgill 4.4.0s won, on account of the fact that the photo he put up got 5 likes? No? Oh alright then. To the dry side today, and the North British Railway. I wonder what Clive can dream up this time? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to be preserved but sadly in WW2 it was scrapped. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
