Oh yeah - I forgot the MNs :roll: :oops: . 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 :wink:, 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 ;)

Just ignore me - I'm being stupid again :roll: :lol: :lol: Where on earth did I get 38100 from? Think it was a misprint from a Hornby Collector about GWR No. 1000... :wink: :roll: 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).
