According to
http://www.semg.org.uk/photoind.html#steam
There ARE 31 Bullieds (MN/WC/BoB) they are not all runners but are listed as preserved.

There are only 30. 10MN's & 20 lights

Oh yeah - I forgot the MNs

. You see, I'm looking at the Platform 5 Preserved Locos book and the BBs and WCs are together, so I was convinced they were all the Bulleids

, but no - there are 30 in all, so you're right, JonPotter. Sorry about that! Your go then, as no - one else got the exact number.

Yey!

An easy one from me to start - what was the number of the 9F to take over as the Lickey Banker,
the number of the loco that proceeded it,
the year they swapped AND
the gradient of the Lickey bank, and the duration of teh climb

All should be common knowldege to any railway enthusiast

2260 in LMS, 58100 in BR.

Close - the 1st digit of the BR number is wrong

EDIT - It's that stupid 'un again - ignore him

Just ignore me - I'm being stupid again

Where on earth did I get 38100 from? Think it was a misprint from a Hornby Collector about GWR No. 1000...

Oh well - is that right JonPotter?

there's 31 Bulleid locos preserved though (assuming 30 pacifics) as his best design is represented by C1 (yes, C1 - Q1 if you want the class).

prairie4566 · Post by **prairie4566** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 8:13 pm

Yes, 30 Bulleid Pacifics preserved - the Q1 doesn't really count

What's your question fairlie?

Get your name right in a sec...just need time to work such obvious things out...

Might not be an answer to the question, just thought it was an interestingish factoid.

fairlie · Post by **fairlie** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 8:28 pm

Questions a easy one - How many 37s were built.

prairie4566 · Post by **prairie4566** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 8:31 pm

309 or 905?
