20something Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi, is there anywhere on the web I can find pictures of narrow gauge locos in service on the front line as im looking at building a small layout in 009 set in the first world war. Thanks in advance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Not a clue, but I would be thinking of The Imperial War Museum as a likely place to look. Probably have a website, ah, a searchable image collection even, http://collections.iwm.org.uk/ Good luck. Amberley Chalk Pit Museum has some WW1 narrow gauge like Simplex locos I think, an ex-boss who volunteered there took me for a putter round on such a thing.

Badger Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 This site has info on the 40hp Simplex locos http://www.bagofbits.com/tinturtle/ and Nigel Lawson does a model of the 20hp Simplex http://www.nigellawton009.com/20HP_WD_Simplex.html good luck.

Thanks in advance! There is a site dedicated to the War Department Light Railways. http://www.wdlr.org.uk/ My own photo of one of the Hunslet 4-6-0Ts in the Australian War Memorial.

Bernard Lamb Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 If you want 'the other side' try a search for Feldbahn. Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
49395 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You could join the narrow miltary rail yahoo group and the war office loco society groups on yahoo, http://finance.group...com/group/WOLS/ http://groups.yahoo....owmilitaryrail/ On the wdlr site, if you click on research there is a search facility for the austrailian war memorial site. The imperial war museum site also has quite a lot of pictures. Edit: pete wilsons 'willesden junction' is a good example of OO9 ww1 modelling, some pictures here - http://campbell-modelrailway.fotopic.net/c1124166.html and some more on the narrowmilitaryrail group Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
