Donald-239373 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I am considering buying a rake of LNER, 6 Wheel coaches but wondering what type and class of locomotive would have pulled them?Thank you for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 A small to medium size tank engine I should think. I have a set of SE&CR 4 and 6 wheel coaches on order and intend using a Terrier to haul them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doc Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hornby don't really make a small passenger tank loco of the right era for the LNER, if you are concerned with true accuracy, though you could use the old J52 (not currently in production) or more recent J50 (they were more often used as shunters to move coaches into position for bigger locos to pull. An alternative would be a small tender loco. The Hornby J15 is an excellent model, and quite often hauled passenger trains, so one in LNER livery would be a good choice.As an alternative, Bachmann make the J72 which is a small tank loco of the correct era, and, in my opinion, looks good pulling my rake of LNER four wheel coaches.

81F Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Just to add to the list would be the old Hornby J83. However like the J52 it is an old product in model terms. Indeed I think I remember seeing a full page spread when it was first introduced in the mid to late 1970s! As a result you would need to source a newer model with a better paint job.

I have a set of SE&CR 4 and 6 wheel coaches on order and intend using a Terrier to haul them. Have Hornby done SE&CR? Or have Hattons finally released theirs?

Brew Man Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 No, Hornby haven't, at least not in the current run. I have the Hattons ones on order, due for release in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Matthews Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 My apologies. I completely missed the bit where you said “on order” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfox4475 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 You could use the Hornby N2 0-6-2 tank to pull them. They have produced same in GNR GNR green and LNER black both look fine with the LNER 6 wheel Coaches and the GNR 4 wheel coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
