jcm@gwr Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hi guys, A little while ago, (ie, anything up to 9 months ago!) I was looking at ' gwr.org ' and was impressed with the 'might have been' locos'. A short while after I saw an article on combining a 'King' and a 'Princess Royal' to create a GWR Cathedral. I am sure I showed it to my mate Ted, and he is sure he remembers it as well. Trouble is neither of can find the b****y thing, despite trawling through 6 months of RM, BRM, MR & HM! Can anybody else recall this article or are we going senile! Thanks Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Might be worth adding something to the title. Ones called help tend to attract little attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dilbert Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 There was an interesting article in the July 1994 issue of RM. This was also about a Cathedral class loco (8029 Truro Cathedral) but was of a 4-8-0 wheel configuration - this 80xx class was "to give a better route availability than that of the Kings" - and this based on using standard GW loco components... dilbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jeff I don't know the reference you're looking for, but its been done before. 8003 Bohemoth Model Railway Constructor 1976 December. Hawksworth 4-6-2 Railway Modeller 1997 June. Perhaps you should concentrate your searches to April editions? Kevin Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Triang Paul Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If you look inthe Modelling and Muses section, there is a large thread containing said locos including the 2-6-0 Pannier Tank which i shall be having a go at some time in the future.

Il Grifone Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 By coincidence, while clearing up , I found an old Great Western Echo (Autumn 1997) with an article, the surviving drawing and model photos. This is the model described in June1997 RM and bears the number '9000' and name 'FW Hawksworth' (very appropriate! ) The model has A 'King' front bogie, but the drawing shows inside bearings to both axles (but then it also shows inside bearings on the pony. The drivers are also revised to 6' 6" diameter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
