It's 6 pages for me, I have max posts per page.Congratulations, people!
14 pages & 200 posts.
Currently the hottest thread outside the Screenshots forum, with no end in sight.
Now, what the hell were we supposed to be talking about here?
Matt.
It's not an A4. :'(

It's not a LNER Gresley A2
Phil I think those are just rebuilt A1s

He said that it isn't an A2.
A1s were rebuilt into A3s. A2s were the Peppercorn version of the A1s/A3s. Tornado is an A2, but Flying Scotsman was an A1 and was rebuilt into an A3. Flying Scotsman remains an A3 to this day.

It's also not a J39 or a J69 or an E2.
I'm pretty sure it isn't a GWR engine as well.
I'm also quite sure that it is not a 9F Merchant Navy.
Or a BR Britannia Class
Or a Garratt (Well, that's more likely but still highly UNlikely)
Anyone else want to contribute to engines that it wont be?

Yes! Hall,City, King, Castle, Hogwarts Express, Jinty, 4F, 5MT, 9F, 8F, 7F, Crab, 2MT, 4MT, A4, P2, A3, A2, A1, A0 (A1 prototype), C17, C16, DD17, BB18, AC16 A10, and more!
BTW, the 9Fs were 2-10-0s, Merchant Navys were Southern Railway 4-6-2 Pacifics.
There *was* a pre-Peppercorn A2, just as the 'Gresley A1' was before the 'Peppercorn A1'
However, they weren't Gresley designed, but Raven designed and thus the largest NER designed locomotive (Gresley's A1 (later reclassified as A10) pacifics came from the GNR portion of the pre-grouping LNER):

Thanks for the info, and I like that site. It's in my favourites. Is useful for my A3 name project.
But now, back to the wishful guessing!
I guess it's not going to be Big bertha.

Hmmmm. Interesting train, I'm not even sure what it could be. It could be a train that probably doesn't exsist anymore.

Ok Brits it isn't British so just mark them all off the list now. Same goes to the Aussies.
Should we just tell Auran what we would like because it's probably not even been decided on by them yet and they are just fishing for what is likely to sell the best.
My vote goes to this train, well I would buy this:

Their are similar carriages that can already be downloaded.
Of course the company is phishing (I think it's phishing, not fishing in this case, or is it?) to see what people would like.

All right I want the Empire Builder circa 1956-1959.

Don't forget that they took the Flying Scotsman over there to get people on trains again, and I'll bet that wasn't the only English built loco to go across the pond, so don't knock all the Brit's off the list.
But as it is stated earlier, it is American, so that knocks out all English built Locomotives

You would think people could get that through their head but...

But people are getting bored of the lack of updates. So we've decided to find new ways to entertain ourselves... If N3V or Auran or Rob or whoever would just give us a tiny little extra clue... Even half an image... Or a heavily blurred image... SOMETHING! :hehe:
I doubt it's steam. Being late 1950s, it's a 2nd generation diesel, perhaps an E-unit, F-unit, or perhaps an FP pulling a streamlined passenger train such as the NYC 2th Century Limited, maybe the GN Empire Builder, or some other named train.
If it were the 1930s or 1940s, it might be a streamlined passenger train pulled by a steam engine. Then it would be something like the Vanderbuilt, a streamlined Hudson, or even one of the many streamlined engines out there. (I'm most familiar with the east coast).
