If you were "listing" UK steam locos, what's your opinion of the best order?
I know their is no right answer, more after opinions, especially comparing official & unofficial class names.
If you wanted to list (index) several classes of UK steam locos, what would be the best order in your opinion, would work the best?
Note: My list will be ignoring the rail company, such as GWR, unless need to.
For example:
King, (GWR 6000) Class
County, (GWR 1000) Class
Hall, (GWR 4900) Class
Would I be correct, in that their numerical number as above is the official terms for the classes, or are the groups names the official terms for the class?
Would you put them in say "alphabetical" order, or in numerical order using their class numbers, or would you put them in order of their official name, if they have a name, such as Flying Scotman?
With the A1, A2, A3 etc, including the Flying Scotsman, Tornado, are they collectively just known as the "A Class"?
Slightly off-topic: The streamlining of the A4's were removed during World War 2. Wouldn't doing so temporary make them a different "A" number?
