The LNER Encyclopedia

I'm back to adding pages for the remaining locomotives. I'm currently working on the GCR 4-4-0s, and the D5 page was completed in July.
I have just completed the D6, D7, and D8 pages:

http://www.lner.info/locos/D/d7.shtml
http://www.lner.info/locos/D/d8.shtml

The remaining GCR 4-4-0s are the D9, D10, D11, and D12 classes. I will post announcements of their completion as replies to this thread.

Most of the wheel arrangements have been finished. It is subject to change, but the current priority for completion is:

1.) Finish the GCR 4-4-0s
2.) Finish the 0-6-0Ts
3.) The D49s
4.) The 2-4-0 tender locomotives
5.) Finish the 0-6-0 tender locomotives
6.) Finish the 4-4-0 tender locomotives
7.) The Electric Locomotives
8.) The Railcars.

I may interleave this plan with further 'article' pages.

The Robinson D9 (GCR 11B, 11C, and 11D) 4-4-0 locomotives have been added:

As an aside, in the past week I have added the technical details for all of the remaining 0-6-0Ts ( http://www.lner.info/locos/J/j_d.shtml ). This is in preparation for when I finish the GCR 4-4-0s and start on the text for the 0-6-0Ts.

I have photos of the NER electric Bo-bo number one, if that's of any use to your website, if so just let me know and i'll scan it in for you.

Hi Robert, Welcome to the LNER forums!

Yes, they would be useful. I won't be getting to the electrics until next year, but I will be needing photos. I can give an acknowledgement (incl. web link) of course. Send them by email.

If you send them before I have the BoBo page up, I can add them to the current temporary electric page.

The D10 'Directors' page has been completed:

Finished the GCR 4-4-0s!

The new additions are the D11 'Improved Directors', and the Sacre D12s:

By coincidence, a partly-built GEM kit of an Improved Director arrived in the post yesterday!

The forums are beginning to take off, so I am expecting that they will require more time over the next week or so. I also have some preparation work to perform before I can start writing text for more locomotives. However, I hope to get most if not all of the remaining 0-6-0Ts finished before the end of the year. The following subject-to-change order of attack is:

1.) Remaining 0-6-0Ts (NER,NBR,GNSR,EWYUR,HBR,WD)
2.) D14/D15/D16 Clauds and D49 Hunts/Shires
3.) 2-4-0 tender locomotives
4.) Remaining 0-6-0 tender locomotives
5.) Remaining 4-4-0s
6.) Railcars and electric locomotives

The order of completion has been based on a number of factors. I like to fill holes, and I also like to complete locomotives which I know will be popular. I also need sufficient information, although this is less of a factor today: I now have enough for most of the remaining classes, although I can always do with good photos with suitable copyright permission.

Richard, if you hang on until the end of the month, i can get you some photos of D49 No. 246 Morayshire ( paired up with LNER teak coaches ) , as she is being debutted at a gala on thr 22nd, 23rd of october at the B&KR specially organised for the loco.

That would be good Jonathon! I really doubt I'll get to the D49 page until next year, but I have a temporary page up at the moment. I could add them to the temporary page and then keep them for the final one.

The Clauds and D49s are probably the two most well known types which I haven't completed yet - hence their position near the top of the list.
