So what shall we name the new P2?

[coachmann]

Subtle humour as usual....

[Atlantic 3279]

Should that be my next cut-&-shut project? Might need a bit of filler..........

[giner]

Not so subtle, Coachmann. Thompson would have been proud of a mash-up like that.

[Postman Prat]

Well said, Coachmann. I agree re the 9Fs even though I think we may be in a minority!!

Like the photo.

after looking at neildimmers grand pictures how about "GREAT NORTHERN"

[Topshed]

As a New Comer, I fail to see anything listed that beats the original names.
It would b e a new build so why not 2001 although my preference would be for 2006 'Wolf of Badenoch'
or Mons Meg as an existing Scottish Monument
As for style I don't care as long as it looks and sounds like a P2 in LNER Green

Gresley Was Right

She would appear like this hopefully

[Saint Johnstoun]

Might I suggest that it may be barred from coming north of the border unless it is named Alex Salmond?

[coachmann]

Nah, it should be built as an improved Thompson A2-2 and named 'Bay City Rollers'....

[52A]

If it is named after that smug **** keep it north of the border.

[52A]

On second thoughts.........................

[LNER Fan 60008]

Not the best paintwork there...

[Bill Bedford]

'Oy

Get Northumbria devolved
Find your own smug ****
then complain.

[52A]

What do you mean by Northumbria?

[Atlantic 3279]

Presumably everything in England North of the Humber and the Wirral, save for Cumbria which would be still under the (fairly loose) control of the King of Scotland . Would everything in the South West then be part of a "Wessex" too(Edward's Earldom?), leaving vast areas of completely unrelated needs and interests across the bulk of England under the control of a (probably inept and Brum-based) Mercian regional government? I don't fancy that for my part of the world. Perhaps putting a huge slice of Eastern England into a Danelaw region, run in sections from York, Lincoln and (oddly) Stamford, would be a better idea, but not of course with any actual Danish involvement these days.

Sorry for rambling off into a load of historical twaddle......
