Furness railway stock drawings?

[Max's Models]

I've recently gotten a kit for a furness railway K2 (pictured below) and would like to have a go at scratch building or 3D printing some rolling stock to go with it when it's finished. I had found a website with drawings of lots of engines and rolling stock from the railway a few years back but made the mistake of not saving any of it, and when I checked again the site seems to be under new management. If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it. If I'm in the wrong spot for this just let me know and I'll take the post down, haven't posted on here before.

 

Here's the link if anyone's interested, though I don't think it'll be much use to anyone in the state it's in.

Hi,

 

Oakwood Press did a book 35A:-

 

The Furness Railway - Locomotives and Rolling Stock by R W Rush first published

in 1973 and re-printed in 1987, ISBN 0 85361 362 1.

 

You might find one second hand somewhere on the net.

 

Regards,

 

Trev.

Some years ago I had much assistance with research from The Cumbrian Railways Association and subsequently wrote a few aeticles for their journal.  It appears that the webmaster has been unwell and access to their internet material for maintenance has been difficult.  The internet archive found some residue:

There's a page for modelling information, with mention of Worsley Works etches for some vehicles:

Their photograph archive seems partly available, and there are photographs of models of Furness stock:

Don't use rush  for anything. The drawings don't match anything. I presume that you are modelling in in 4mm.

MRJ No. 44 has some drawings and info on 10 Ton vans.

 

Modelling Railways Illustrated Vol 1 no. 4 has plans & info on the Sharp Stewart 0-6-0s. The next issue has some corrections.

 

Railway Modeller 1996 November has an Ian Beattie drawing of L3 0-6-2T.

 

MRJ Compendium No. 3 has an article entitled 'Pettigrew's Furness Passenger Engines of 1901', also by Sharp, Stewart.

It would seem the Association has moved files around, so this current link might work better:
