Paul Holmes Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I am considering a 7mm scale model of one of the Oakley/Welsh Slate Co locos built by Daniel Adamson from 1885-90. The only info gleaned so far (on line) is that they were 0-4-0 and their names. Otherwise I've drawn a blank. Does anyone know of details, especially photos and drawings? Looking forward to a lively discussion.. Cross posted from modelling forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Would that be Mole? I'm sure I used to have a drawing, though I can't for the life of me remember where I obtained it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Holmes Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 It's not the Mole that I am looking for sadly, but the four locos that came a little later, three in 1885 then the last in 1890. Built by Adamson and called William, Mary Caroline, Edward and Charles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 OK well all I can find with any likely info is an article in the FR Heritage Journal https://www.frheritage.org.uk/journal/index Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarryscapes Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) A little more detective work has revealed that there are drawings, they are mentioned here http://www.bag16mm.org.uk/Smokebox%20Resource%20Library.html but I have yet to find the original source. Also an article in Industrial Railway Record No. 120 March 1990 on the locos. Edited November 11, 2017 by Quarryscapes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Holmes Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 This has been so helpful, thanks. I am a member of the FR Heritage Group so have started to get the relevant back issue. The pictures are useful - I am also a member there. I shall follow up your other leads too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Please do post the results, wouldn't mind building one myself now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Holmes Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 I have just been in touch with Roy C Link about this and learn that Stuart Baker has not written only an article but also drawings which are due to be published in the next Narrow Gauge and Industrial Review, so the safest thing now is to wait for that in January. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarryscapes Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Have you begun work on your model? I've just started work on CAD for a 16mm one based on Stuart Baker's drawings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
