Talk:List of LNER locomotives as of 31 December 1947

Proposed move

edit

I propose to change the title date format to match List of LMS locomotives as of 31 December 1947, see Talk:List of LMS locomotives as of 31 December 1947. Are there any objections? Biscuittin (talk) 19:35, 20 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

No objections received. Change made. Biscuittin (talk) 14:41, 25 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Bizarre assertions regarding "under construction" engines.

edit

The bizarre assertion that hundreds of extra locomotives were "under construction" has been removed. It is likely that some were under construction, but given that new builds appeared as late as 1951, and it would take a few months to build an engine, I think we can safely conclude that many were not "under construction" as construction had not in fact commenced.

Some were not even ordered: for example, the final order for B1 (nos. 61400-9 built at Darlington during 1950) was not placed until February 1949. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:34, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
