New Pages: Scottish 4-4-0s

Post by **richard** » Sat May 13, 2006 6:52 pm

I've started to add the Scottish 4-4-0s. As with the other types, I will post the new additions to this thread.

The first to be completed are the Holmes D25, Holmes D26, and the Drummond D27/D28 ("Abbotsfords"):

I'm busy the next two weekends, but I'm expecting to get through the numerous Scottish 4-4-0s quite quickly.

After a busy fortnight, I'm back to adding new locomotives. I've just completed the NBR Class J D29 'Scotts' and D30 'Superheated Scotts':

Also in the past 2-3 weeks, I have made a couple of site-wide formatting modifications. A change to the margin should make the pages more printable; and the images should now be positioned correctly in Internet Explorer (in certain circumstances, the images would overlap the text). The margin fix is imperfect, but it will have to do until the planned site redesign next year.

It has been a busy and hot day (*), but I've also had a little bit of time to finish the NBR 4-4-0s. Completed classes: D31, D32 Intermediate, D33 Intermediate, D34 Glen, D35 West Highland Bogie, D36:

I forgot to add that I also added a page for Walter Chalmers:

Unfortunately his NBR tenure was short and wasn't given the opportunity to develop new locomotives before Grouping.

Another busy weekend (*), but I've started on the GNSR 4-4-0s with the Class Q (LNER D38) and Class P (LNER D43) engines:

These engines were actually built in the same batch, and only differed in the size of their driving wheels.

I've just completed the pages for the remaining Scottish 4-4-0s
(D39, D40, D41, D42, D44, D45, D46, D47, and D48):

This completes the 4-4-0 locomotives!

The current planned order of completion is:

1.) GNR 0-6-0s
2.) GCR 0-6-0s
3.) Remaining GER 0-6-0s
4.) NBR 0-6-0s
5.) Electric locomotives, railcars, multiple units, and trams
6.) Internal Combustion multiple units and railcars
7.) Steam railcars

There's quite a bit of prep work required for the 0-6-0s, so progress will appear to be slow for the next few weeks.
