Second-most popular is the GWR 'Manor' 4-6-0 (Nos. 7800-7829), followed by the BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0 (Nos. 78000-78064).

Notes

• The Industrial and Underground categories were deleted for 2019 and 112 new items of ‘core content’ were added. The SECR 'D' Class 4-4-0 (Locomotion Models) and JSA Covered Steel Wagon (Accurascale) were announced in October 2019, too late to be removed from The 2019 Poll data. The KSA 'Warflat' announced by Trains4u in June 2019 was inadvertently included this year.
• 2511 voters took part in the 2019 poll vs. 2537 voters in 2018 and 2473 voters in 2016. The Poll didn’t run in 2017.
• The Wishlist Poll team is comprised of railway modellers who have developed The 00 Wishlist Poll since 2012. They are unpaid and independent. Although The Poll is ‘hosted’ by RMweb, it is otherwise in no way connected with it.
