Grasshopper John Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Could any of the good people of RMW help, I am planning on building the above as a new project next year but am struggling to find any publications for reference. Any links or titles would help. PS it will be the two cylinder version from Mr Andrews. Thanks In advance. Grasshopper J. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb900f Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Grasshopper Search on e bay for Stanier Locomotive Classes, Powell, Alec John Paperback Book.There are 4 on offer at the moment. It covers all of Stanier's locos and is quite informative. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Locomotives Illustrated #47 "The LMS 2-6-4Ts" contains photos of all variants of the Fowler, Stanier and Fairburn designs. (Very little descriptive detail, though.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 They are a class that seem to have been largely ignored in any detail. Unfortunately Wild Swan haven't covered the class in their excellent LMS Loco Profiles series and I believe the planned RCTS book will be some time in the future. As well as the other suggestions I would recommend An Illustrated History Of LMS Locomotives Volume Five - The Post Grouping Standard Classes by David Jenkinson and Bob Essery (Silver Link Publishing). It's the bible as far as LMS locomotives are concerned. Although they only get a few pages coverage most of which are about livery variations. There was also a very good article in Railway Modeller May 1966 with drawings and details. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper John Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Many Thanks Pete, pH, Paul & Jason. No wonder I couldn't find anything they seem to be buried In larger books that cover the whole lot as Jason points out. The above should keep me going Thanks & Regards John.

Grasshopper John Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Just a quick update, I've managed to purchase Stanier locomotive classes - alec john and locomotive illustrated 47 And I've sent a request to family for Stanier locomotives Brian haresnape and Illustrated history of LMS vol 5 as I shall be another year older very soon. I bet they all cover the Black 5 which I've just finished as it was my first 7mm build I failed to heed advice and get some reference books. Lesson Learnt.

Grasshopper John Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Well I asked for a few things for my Birthday and I got what I wanted ( for a change ) Well I treated myself to Locomotives Illustrated and Stanier locomotive classes. Looks like I will be building a few Stanier models in the future, Or this could be the start of something I may need a rather large bookcase Regards John.
