ArdsleyTank Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Whilst doing research for my brother's Bachmann model of 47410, I discovered that on Wikipedia the 47410's batch first had MR style numbers; 47410's being No. 16493. But on all other sources that I have, namely RailUk and BR Database, say that its original number as-built was 7410! If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be very helpful. Thanks guys, -ArdsleyTank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, -ArdsleyTank On this Wikipedia page, the numbering details are given. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Fowler_Class_3F Note, not all were numbered in the correct sequence, but as far as I can tell, this list is accurate.
