No, I just think we're compiling a list of names that didn't make Collett's shortlist for his 4900 (Hall) class locos.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted September 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2020 I make it 8 Henrys, 8 Edwards (the last not crowned), 6 Georges, 4 Williams, 2 Charles and 2 James. Even if you leave out Edward VIII who was not crowned when the last Kings were built and George VI for the same reason, there are still 30 Kings of England, one more than King class locos, and the Dauphin of France was crowned in Westinster Abbey by the Archbishop of Canterbury with the support of the nobles and the people while John was on the run, which makes him legit in my book though once John kicked it he disappeared pretty quick. you might make it a contraversial 31.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted September 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2020 1 hour ago, PhilJ W said: Richard III. 6015. But one King carried two names, 6029, the last, orignally King Stephen and renamed King Edward VIII in 1936s, which accounts for the anomaly. If you are going to include Philip, who I was under the impression was given the rank of Consort in England while the monarch was Mary, though Mary was a full rank Queen in Spain, then you should include the future Louis VIII of France who was installed legitimately as King of England for a short time in 1216. The GW seems to have only included post Norman Conquest Kings, but there were Saxon KIngs of England, including Edgar, Edward the Confessor, and Harold Godwinstone that could have been brought into service had more locos been required. And of course there were the Queens, 2 Marys, 2 Elizabeths, and a Victoria. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the Act of Parliament governing Mary's marriage, Philip was King; parliament was called and acts of parliament dated in both their names but Philip's Kingship was for Mary's lifetime only and he could not act in England without Mary's consent. William of Orange got a better deal largely because Mary II was a weaker character. 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Fairlies each bogie has its own throttle so the engine can be in the situation where both ends are trying to go in opposite directions. A lot of noise and hot air is therefore produced to no good effect . Does this sound familiar?
