    That's good news and it just triggers today's trivia question. 41312 and 41313 are two heritage locomotives that are in service currently with consecutive numbers. Are there any others?

    What a turn around for the 'forgotten' Ivatts!

    In answer to the trivia.....
    7827 'Lydham Manor' & 7828 'Odney (Norton) Manor' Immediately spring to mind along with 5541/5542. 78018/78019 potentially in the not too distant future perhaps?

    Does the two sets of clan frames count ? 72010 and 72010 ?

    How about the 8f's in Turkey ? 45160/1 45165/6 ? - could also be Wd340/1 (45166/8) or if they were allocated numbers as imported in the UK we'd have a 48776/7/8 :)

    WD 2-10-0 numbers 3651/2 exist, and we've seen a WD600/1 but in greek numbers we'd have Λβ960/1/2 (960 being 3672 in the UK). (in Greece 7x WD 2-10-0 still exist numbers: 73656/674/677/682/684/699 as OSE class numbers Λβ955/58/61/62/64/66), all but 2 are dumped.

    WD 0-6-0st's
    WD190,1,2,3,4 & WD 196,7,8 & 71515/6

    Impressive....but I think you probably need to get out more.

    Back on track, I have to say I really like the Ivatts. The fireman friendly features (e.g. rocking grate) were pretty unusual on a loco of that type. They popped up everywhere and were pretty reliable and effective, in my view.

    I'm not going to argue with that
    Hadn't finished editing the list yet (I was sucked into WD's :))
    I'm not going into Industrials or Narrow Guage I may be here some time :)

    in LT numbers panniers L89/90 & L94/5 survive :)

    LMS/LNER overall didn't fare too well in the consecutive number stakes from what I can see, I guess that's the Barry factor.

    the largest set of consecutive numbers appears to be WD J94s... apart from WD 195, there would be a full house from WD190-199, what happened to WD 195 ? from what I see it was a Longmoor one and even ran a railtour on the mainline in 1966....


    ok done.. open to correction, i'm sure I've missed at least one :) lying down the challenge.. which one did I miss ?

    I assume 30076 and 30077 are impostors as well?

    Perhaps (because I am sure we have done this before) we should do a variation: greatest difference in number between two preserved locos of the same class (while using the same numbering scheme - no cheating by saying "Stroudley Terriers 40 and 32678!").

    I offer Wainwright P class 27 and 753 (=726 difference). Any advances on that?
