Beyer Peacock 2-6-2T

[Mac]

Does anyone know where I can get the basic dimensions of this

metre gauge Loco (built 1890/91... Alcoy & Gandia Rly)

to enable a modellers drawing to be made?

Yes,

 

The builders drawings and photo are on line at MOSI.

You can find the similar Australian ones there too.(3'-6" gauge with a rather nicer bunker design).

Thanks for the very useful information.

I faintly remember about the MOSI holding builders drawings.

Nice photos. I see from your profile that you are into the Malta railways. A drawing of their similar 2-6-4T is there too.

And many drawings and photos of the australian 2-6-0's from which these tank angines are derived.

If you're interested in The Malta Railway I would recommend the Oakwood book.

Visiting Manchester next year for the Tram Festival; so I'll make sure to spend time

at the MOSI.
