Belgian Steam Locomotive Drawings, Diagrams and Photo's

[Chris hndrsn]

G'day all,

 

I am trying to find drawings, diagrams and photo's of the SNCB Type 40, 50, 57 and 58 locomotives that were transferred to the Belgian State Railways in 1919. I intend using the information to either scratchbuild examples of each, or create 3D prints, for use with Bachmann US chassis, in their original livery of the ROD.

 

I realise Jocadis used to produce examples of the Type 57 and the Type 50, but the cost for me is a bit eye watering when they do pop-up on eBay. 

 

I would greatly appreciate any help RMWeb members can provide.

 

Cheers,

Chris

Type 40 (Baldwin 4-6-0) - Please find attached a diagram eminating from the Palestine Railways' Mechanichal Branch with a diagram, which curiously shows the version sent to Belgium (WD Nos. 801-870) rather the one brought to the Middle East (Nos. 871-920) which a different cab profile.

 

The Israel Railways Museum has in its collection a large proportion of the engineereing drawings related to this type, and while they mostly relate to the second batch, they still might be of use to you.
