henlo again! the dumbass with the 8K and 01 obsession here! how many 8K's has sodor acquired through its years? asking because i have a feeling its more then 3 and they are all beans and deserve to be pat! also i figured out how to do asks >:3

So the NWR buys 5 in 1921, NWR No.28-32, directly from.the ROD. No.28, the engine in alot of my old scale comparisons, is named Vicarstown.

Another group is bought from the LMS in 1927, but I haven't locked in how many (I'm thinking 10)

Finally a group was bought from British Railways from 1957 (the 3 final GWR 30xx) to 1966 (LNER 04s).

Now not all of these are in service as ROD 2-8-0s. Some were Rebuilt in NWR Mikado's using LNER A1 (peppercorn) Boilers. Others have retired to museums.

Still, the ROD 2-8-0, GCR 8k, LNER O4, GWR 30xx, NWR 28 class is still the line's most numerous locomotive class.

How many exactly Im working on, as I am still working on the Locomotive Roster

"Hazel did you know there was a GWR engine named Hazel Hall?" 

"Hazel what are...NO!" 

It's too late, you can't un-LNER the Hall

Multiple computer malfunctions, life issues, and more delayed her but, shes finally done! The Rod 2-8-0 (LNER O4/GWR 30XX/GCR 8K/NWR 28) One of my favorite all time engines, the hardy workhorses have served as the backbone of the North Western's Goods fleet from its early days.
