.NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY - LIST OF TYPES1-July-05

The North British Railway never had a definitive class description scheme for their engines. They did, however, havetwo other systems which did classify engines, but neither positively identified individual classes. The earliest was nomore than a listing, in the General Appendix, of many different classes under the headings of First, Second or Thirdclass, loosely based on their quality and the duties they could perform. The other system was purely a power classifi-cation using the letters A to I and S, again listing together sometimes several different classes.

When making a start on computerizing listing of NBR engines in the late 1980s and 1990s, it was clear that somethingmore positive was required to save having to repeat long textual descriptions.. The first idea was to use the LNERclassification for those engines which received them, and assign similar letters and numbers to earlier engines. Thiswas quickly ruled out on the grounds that there could be confusion with existing LNER engines using the same classdescriptions. For example an NB J1 (Hawthorn 0-6-0 of 1846) could easily be mistaken for its GN equivalent.. Notonly that, but the Whyte system did not cater for some of the wheel arrangements of early engines, and wheel arrange-ments often changed during the life of early engines. The system which was deemed to be more appropriate is theone which follows, where a number is allocated to each class, as was the case with BR and other railways, for theirdiesel locomotives and multiple units and is still used to this day. In our cast this has been extended to differentiatebetween members of a class where there were significant differences. For example differing wheelbases or un-super-heated and superheated versions. This is indicated by a suffix consisting of /1, /2 etc. Further differences occurredwhen engines were re-built, these are shown by suffixes /A, /B etc.

In the preparation of the list a large number of sources have been consulted, but for many of the very earliest enginesthe information still available is very scant and, in some cases, open to interpretation. Although much analysis hasbeen done the compiler would welcome any comments or suggestions to enable the listing to be updated, but, pleaseindicate your source.
