Looks like I like the unpopular locos
O1/O4s and ex LDECR were the last ones iIlooked at!

There are a lot of locomotive types! I don't think the dominance of Gresley and his Pacifics are a surprise. The surprises (to me) are the high rankings of the Clauds and the Aberford Railway. I only wrote the Claud Hamilton page in December.

The high ranking of the Sentinel page is probably because this was one of the first ones that I wrote. The Raven A2 probably gets a lot of hits because people go to the A3 or A4 pages first and then look at the A2 thinking "I've never heard of that one before".

I would have thought the Thompson B1 or Holden B12 pages would have been more popular than the B17 page. The high ranking of the B17 relative to these might be because the Thompson B1 and B12 have preserved examples and hence lots of web pages about them.
