Talk:LNWR Class B

Conversions

The figures don't add up:

to Class E  26
to Class F  10
to Class G  17
to Class G1 91
Total      144

The total build was 170. Does this mean that some remained unconverted? Biscuittin (talk) 19:54, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, not all were converted: but one of your rows is in error. 32 were rebuilt to G, not 17. The balance of 11 were withdrawn without being rebuilt, and are listed in LNWR Class B#LMS ownership. Unfortunately that paragraph gives the impression that these were the only Class B inherited by the LMS: in reality, they also acquired several others, and carried on rebuilding them to G1 before they stopped B-G1 rebuilds in 1927.

to Class E  26 in 1904-08
to Class F  10 in 1906-08
to Class G  32 in 1906-17
to Class G1 91 in 1917-27
wdn. as B   11 in 1927-28 except for LNWR no. 134, wdn. 1922 after explosion at Buxton Nov 1921
Total      170

Thank you - I will update the article. Biscuittin (talk) 21:48, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

I have re-written the relevant part of the article. Could you please check that I have not introduced any errors. Biscuittin (talk) 22:30, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Navbox

We could do with a navbox for LNWR locomotives. Would anyone like to create one? Biscuittin (talk) 22:42, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

I have created one (based on the LMS one). Please expand it if you can. Biscuittin (talk) 10:23, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
