1306 MAYFLOWER (NAME OR NO NAME)

51L · Post by **51L** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 5:11 pm

Who agrees with 1306 having a name, i know its been named Mayflower for a long time since it was preserved but who AGREES

AND WHO DOESNT

Me i would like to see it without the name as it was never a named loco, the name came off another B1.

I like to see her wih the name, it gives the loco a bit more recognisability, making it different from the other surviving B1

This locomotive was based in my hometown of Hull for most of it's working life, during that time it carried no name. If I had my way it would be nameless, and neither would it be in LNER livery as it never wore it in service.

i dont mind either way to me but perhaps they should give her the real mayflower's number and run her as that for a bit?

If i had it my way i would
-Run 1306 as 61306 BR livery (2 or more years)
-Run it in BR as the original MAYFLOWER (2 or more years)
-Run 1306 in LNER (just to please LNER fans, NOT ME)

i Dislike the name being on it spoils the loc and the name was never on 61306 it was on another B1

All I can say is nameplates on apple green B1s look better than smoke deflectors on apple green A3s

Just to be different hows about with name and a liberal coating of grime on BR Black

Mayflower isn't the only LNER engine with a preservation-era name. Joem has one as well...

Dont forget there are other LNER locos existing with names:

(6)1994 The Great Marquess
(6)2005 (Currently carrying: 'Lord of the Isles')

AHHHH but 61994 or 3442 has always had a name
the K1 well i no has never had a name but it doesnt really make the loco diffrent
