richard i Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Does anyone have a drawing or the main measurements of the little gcr tank locos 12am they were 2-4-0 tanks which just made it into lner stock. A scale drawing would be best but if none exist some major dimensions would help so i could scale the rest from a photo. Any help much appreciated Thanks Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard i Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 See Model Railway News March 1965 for an excellent drawing. I am state side so cannot rummage at exhibitions like i used to, but will look on ebay to see if one is up for grabs. Thank you. Too much to hope it is a kit in the offing? - far too early for you as they had all gone by 1924. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted September 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 7, 2017 I've built two of these from scratch over the years (John Quick has one of them now) but no, there isn't much chance of a kit appearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy1165 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I for one should love a kit! In fact, I think a RTR version should be the next project for Dapol/Minerva. I do have an O Gauge version, but it badly needs a repaint. I think I have some drawings somewhere, so if the MRN article doesn't hit the spot, please PM me and I shall try to dig them out. As long as you're not in a hurry, as I am about as organised as a sewing basket that two kittens have played with for a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy1165 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Due to an administrative error I have located the paperwork for this engine. The most useful drawing I have is the MRN one; the others are photo copies of some huge drawing, very faint, which I doubt would copy very well. I do however have some supporting papers including an article copied from the Great Central Railway Journal. If you would like these extra "bits" please let me know.

I would not want to put you to any expense, especially as it is more than just pennies to get things out here to the states. However, if you can scan them and send them that way. I would be delighted to have them. The more information the better I find when building.Thank you Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy1165 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Richard, PM me your email and you shall have all the scans that might be useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
