dikitriki Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hi I am about to fit Joy's inside valve gear into 2 L&Y locos - an Aspinall saddle tank and an Aspinall A class 0-6-0 tender loco. Examples of both of these locos have been preserved, and I am seeking the following information: 1) Does anyone have any pictures of the valve gear, and indeed any other pictures of between the frames. In particular I wish to see the rear of smokebox/top of valve chest area. 2) Does anyone have any drawings of these locos showing the inside valve gear. 3) What shape are the cranks, and are they the same in each loco. I should say that I am familiar with how Joy's valve gear works, and have a drawing of it as applied to the L&Y 2-4-2, where it is horizontal, rather than inclined as I believe it is on the 2 locos I am modelling. All help very much appreciated/any costs reimbursed. Thank you Richard Lambert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rail-Online Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Richard, Do you really mean a Aspinall Saddle Tank? I have pics of the Barton Wright 0-6-0 -will these do? Cheers Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikitriki Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Tony Brilliant picture, and yes, it/they will do. I do in fact mean the Aspinall rebuild to saddle tank of the Barton Wright 0-6-0 tender locos. The engine unit was the same (I now discover it had Stephenson Link motion, not Joy's), so the photos are very relevant. So if you have any further pictures of the Barton Wright loco, I would be most grateful to have copies I will email you. Thanks Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rail-Online Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Who says inside motion is not really visible on a low boilered prototype............Even in 4mm! The Barton Wright was shunting so not all these shots were taken at exactly the same time. Cheers Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikitriki Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi Tony Thanks very much for taking the time and trouble to post these - and for the photos sent privately. The Joy valvegear is even more visible, and with the odd movement of the valve rods, working inside motion becomes a necesssity.
