RMweb Gold kipford Posted December 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi has anyone got drawings/photos of the fall plate for an Aspinall class 27 they could let me have. I am building a 5" gauge version and the designer of the locomotive has omitted to include any details. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted December 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 23, 2018 The fall plate is hinged on the tender, this is part of a drawing of unknown origin but looks right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted December 23, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2018 Michael Many thanks, I can dream something up from that, anyone got a photo of the fall plate on the preserved example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbine Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Michael Many thanks, I can dream something up from that, anyone got a photo of the fall plate on the preserved example? From the Barton Wright and tender, but the fall plate looks very like the one in the drawing above. Edited December 25, 2018 by woodbine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold kipford Posted December 26, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2018 Woodbine That is terrific, just what I needed and it also answers some others questions about the cab and tender floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted December 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 26, 2018 Don't forget the photo is of the Barton Wright Ironclad, not an Aspinwall 0-6-0, although I'm sure the tender fallplate is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo675 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hi Kipford, The photos of the Barton Wright are indeed correct for an A class as I remember from my days at the ELR. Careful of ones feet when stood near the cab door way on sharp curves. Gibbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
