They are all the name of LNER locomotives..... but not sure if that is what you want?

You’ve done the hard work, yorkshire, but are they more specifically ‘A4’s? I’ve been on 4488, and there was about ten seconds (not really ;)) between each puff! Something to do with the bore or the stroke, I can’t remember. Now, I have to disappear, because if my Dad catches me talking about LNER, rather than all-hallowed LMS, I’ll be in huge trouble. :bandit:

Yes they are!
 
It''s to do with this class of Gresley Pacifics. . Sparrowhawk, Bittern, Seagull are NOT part of the group.
Great Snipe IS part of the group.

I know now how yorkie felt when he read my Maths question - this is all a foreign language to me. <yikes>

For what it's worth ( not much really) , I have a Maths degree and I don't understand the combination lock problem even given the solution !

BTW. If you (BB) are happy to send me an e-mail ( to [email protected]) I'll send my picture for the question I WANTED to pose but couldn't get the picture onto the threasd
If you wish, when this one is finished, you can post it as a question, but i'll answer the attempts ! Does that make sense ?

Meanwhile, are any more hints needed ?
 
My EXACT list is
Kestrel, Osprey , Sea Eagle, Pochard, Garganey, Capercaillie ,Great Snipe, Peregrine

Others that might have been included, but not in my specific list are
Golden Shuttle, Herring Gull, Gadwall & finally Great Snipe ( Both in and not in !)
 
No. All the locomotives were renumbered , twice. LNER original, to LNER final, to BR , except one which didn't survive the war (and wasn't in my list).
You were closer before.
 
You were really close ! I've really run out of clues without either giving it away , or making it more confusing. It's not really about the birds
I am happy to wait a little, or reveal all.
