Talk:L&YR Class 2

Build details
The was this start of an line of locomotives evolving through L&YR Class 2 (Aspinall), L&YR Class 3 & 4 which was the start point for the Aspinall Atlantic. Of immediate concern is this article which should encompass a build of 110 seems to claim only the final Vulcan Foundry batches albeit it was only 2 from the final batch of 16 from Vulcan that seems to have survived into the Hughes 1919 classification system and through to LMS. Marked dubious in interim. Djm-leighpark (talk) 06:25, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * At the time that the term "Class 2" was introduced (1919 or 1920), there were only those two locomotives remaining out of the many 4-4-0s built to Barton Wright's orders; so we don't know if the earlier batches would have been included in the same class - there were certainly differences, such as the use of Joy valve motion on the ten built by Neilson in 1884. It might have been convenience on the part of Hughes to include those two with the Beyer, Peacock engines ordered by Aspinall. Casserley & Johnston, on page 102, show 2 remaining out of 36 built 1885-7. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 08:48, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Future of Article
This article has a number of issues (more in what it does not say rather than the couple of minor inaccuracies in what it does) and to a degree is a subset of L&YR Barton Wright 4-4-0. Discussions on way forward are at currently at Talk:L&YR Class 2 (Aspinall). Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:26, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
