Locomotives Worth Modelling book by Hambleton

[Dava]

Does anyone have a copy of this old book dating from 1950? Last published by MAP 1977.

My interest is which locos were included, and do they include an LNWR Webb ‘Chopper’ 2-4-0T?

He made several drawings of this type of loco so I m wondering if it’s included in the book.

 

The LNWR Society archive lists them.

Thanks for any information,

David

"Chopper" - No, 'fraid not.

 

LNWR locos that are  included  - "Precedents and their pilots" and "Three and four cylinder compounds". All bigger stuff than the little tank.

Plans, photos and details appeared in Model Railway Constructor for 1972 December.

There’s an article by Robin Whittle in the much-missed RailModel Digest, Issue 3, which describes his efforts making the last survivor, 58092, from the London Road Models kit. He discusses the differences between the various drawings in Talbot, and includes a 4mm drawing by Mike Peascod of a chopper in its final condition.
