sem34090 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Could you give axle diameter for the wheels you'll be using, and wheel diameter too so that I can adjust the chassis as well as the body? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Annie Posted February 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2018 Oops sorry. I use 3mm axles and the wheels measure 37mm over the flanges and are 7mm wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley Jim Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 My apologies Jim, my mind switched off... and even then I wasn't sure! Apologies accepted and you are forgiven. On the other hand, N scale is whatever the manufacturer wants it to be (and not always the same in all directions!). Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Are you sure you couldn't be tempted to do this Manning Wardle 0-6-0 from 1867 instead? I have drawings... (and some for a South Eastern Railway loco of 1848!) IMG_20180206_230651687.jpg Is that one of the West Yorkshire tanks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Annie Posted February 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2018 Zerah Colburn's "Locomotive Engineering" mentioned in the IRS webpage can be found here https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_57kxAQAAMAAJ I have always liked the look of early Manning Wardle locomotives, but the fluted domes and safety valve casings have always scared me away from trying to make a model of one. And yes I saw that Adams stovepipe chimney too and went 'Oooooo' and immediately fell in love with that old drawing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 The new name is to avoid GTR causing issues due to the use of 'Southern Railway' in the old name. The new name also better reflects my pre-grouping tendencies! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
