Midland Railway Deeley class 990

[RichardSpoors]

I have trawled the internet and NRM for works drawings of this small class of 4P 4-4-0 locomotives without obvious success. I have still to receive some publications from the hand of Bob Essery that may help. In the meantime are there any suggestions of sources that may help me build an accurate model?

Richard,

Have you checked the HMRS collection? The catalogue generally does not give class numbers but there are drawings of 4-4-0s of the period with the appropriate driving wheel diameter. My knowledge of the MR is minimal, so apologies if you’ve already checked this source.
