First of all, I would like to thank everyone that participated in this thread and provided additional information and/or corrections to my list of ex-LNER locos and N gauge kits.
As promised, I have attached an updated list that incorporates all of the additional information.
There are two versions attached; the first one is a “redline” version that shows all of the changes made and the second version is a clean “blackline” version.
I don’t intend to go through all of the new information but here are a few bits that might be of interest.
(1)
@Snowwolflair has developed a 3D print currently available via Shapeways of an LNER Class U1 (the LNER Beyer-Garrat) and a thread describing the development of this model can be found here:
https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=38806.0This model is now included in the list.
(2) My original list did not include the J38 even though this prototype was the last Gresley design in service and the class lasted until 1967. In my defense, my original reference (the 1955 edition of the Observer’s Book of Railway Locomotives) did not include it either! It goes directly from J37 to J39.
To me, this is an unbelievable omission but I double checked and even checked the page numbers to make sure that there were no pages missing but the J38 is not in there. Note that my 1964 edition of the same publication DOES include the J38!
Union Mills has produced a RTR J38 so this information has now been included.
(3) Recreation21 has recently produced a 3D print of an LNER P1 2-8-2 loco on Shapeways but this is not included on the list as the class became extinct in 1945 (i.e., before the 1955 starting point of my list). However, I am mentioning it here as I thought that this information might be of interest to some.
(4) I did send a PM to Steve Da Costa (Atso-Cad) to see if he was still doing commissions/special orders of some of his LNER classes. However, I did not receive a reply. Steve used to be a frequent poster on this Forum but I do not remember seeing anything from him in a while. Does anybody know if he is okay?
Thanks again for your interest.
Ian
P.S. Any additions and/or corrections to the latest list gratefully received.
