Is it a typo with the decimal point in the wrong place, which would be about right judging by similar offerings elsewhere? If no, what’s the story with sticking 77 pence on something costing over two grand? A typo gauranteed to deter his potential customers! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the vehicles are in period liveries that wouldn't be seen alongside one another, I can only think that he's hoping someone will buy the group of items and attempt to sell what isn't appropriate to their layout (I know that some people don't care) and of course there's certain models that don't sell very well, that you might just put into a bundle to make it look like a good deal.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite similar above the running plate, and without checking the running number I can understand your confusion. Below the running plate things are a bit different; the M7 is an 0-4-4T with larger diameter driving wheels, and the LNER N15 is an 0-6-2T. LNER classed locos alphabetically by wheel arrangement, so:- A = 4-6-2 Pacific B = 4-6-0 C = 4-4-2 Atlantic D = 4-4-0 E = 2-4-0 F = 2-4-2 G = 0-4-4 H = 4-4-4 I = 4-2-2 J = 0-6-0 K = 2-6-0 Mogul L = 2-6-4 M = 0-6-4 N = 0-6-2 O = 2-8-0 P = 2-8-2 Q = 0-8-0 R = 0-8-2 S = 0-8-4 (I may have got R & S backwards) T = 4-8-0 U = 2-8-0+0-8-2 Beyer Garratt V = 2-6-2 Prairie W = 4-6-4 X = 2-4-4 Aerolite? Y = 0-4-0 Z = 0-4-2, if I've got them all correct! I believe the GNR originated the idea and the GNR of Ireland adopted it as well. I can see how further confusion is caused by such as the N15, an ex NBR 0-6-2T as an LNER engine, but a Southern KIng Arthur express 4-6-0 tender engine not named for it's wheel arrangement. An LNER M7 would have been an 0-6-4, and an LNER 0-4-4 would have been in the G series. Dividing your locos into alpha/numerical classes according to wheel arrangement is as good a method of nomclemature as any, and arguably better than the GW system, where a 57xx might actually be a 67/77/87, and an 8750 might be a 97/37/36/46/96 in that order of entering service. The alphabetic wheel arrangement designation was followed by the number of the class, so pacifics were A1 (GNR Gresley), A2 (NER Raven), A3 (improved A1), A4, then after the withdrawal of the last Raven A2 and rebuilding of the last Gresley A1 into an A3, there were the Thompson A2s and the Peppercorn A1s. The most common wheel arrangement was of course 0-6-0 and these went up to J94. Edited January 8, 2023 by The Johnster 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
