The LNER Encyclopedia

Members of this forum might like to analyse this question from another forum.
How many Castles, Counties, Halls, Kings, Manors and Saints did the LNER own.

The RCTS books don't list any - and it includes a number of "on the accountant's books" and loaners - eg. the S160s, WD 2-10-0s, and the 1938 Tube Stock (still in service on the Isle of Wight!)

Unless it is a trick question, in which case the D49s had a number of Counties, and the B17s included a number of Halls and Castles, plus one Manor!

Well there's Kings Cross, and Manors in Newcastle...........

come on more people bite and i will reveal all

There were quite a few Castles amongst the B17's and a few pacific Saints and Counties. Don't know about Granges.

At a rough count (not finished yet), concerning locos alone I have come up with

3 Kings
15 Halls
7 Castles
1 Manor
34 counties

That's just with 5 minutes counting, and not including station names.

I'm certain there are more (including Granges) but I don't have the time to go through all my listings.

Malcolm

Me again,
Just had a lesson cancelled and couldn't resist the challenge.

I have just gone through all the information I have, and, including stations and loco names, I make it:

7 Kings
14 Castles
3 Manors
1 Hall
17 Saints
35 Counties

and I can't find any Granges

I'm sure these figures aren't correct, but that's the best I can come up with.

Malcolm

And another: Duke Of Rothesay, and what about Earl Marischal, Earl Haig and Earl Beatty?

The original question didn't ask if the LNER had any Granges. However since someone mentioned it there is always the location Ryehope Grange.

Morgan

Dukes????????
Earls?????????
I don't recall those being mentioned in the original post

Malcolm

Locomotive names only please. I shall let this run till saturday, I have been beaten on Castles already,I wonder what i missed. I dont think the Essex Regiments former name qualifies.
