Highland cab views


Recommended Posts

I am using a Shedmaster (now Laurie Griffin) set of castings for a Drummond small HR engine - and although there is a sketch with the castings I ratehr feel that a peek at the real thing might be a good thing. So, has anyone got a photo of the boiler front for any of the Drummond desings for the Highland Railway (or early LSWR as being somewhat contemporary).

 

Thank you, Graham Beare

Late in replying I know, but you will find a cab view (of the boiler rear but I think this is what you mean) of 103 in my father's book - Highland Locomotives (p72).

 

Whilst I should no doubt encourage you to get the book to boost my inheritance (it is long since sold out, so this will not actually happen!), here are some piccies I took of 103 a year back.

I appreciate that 103 is a Jones loco, but as Drummond is the immediate successor to him, I suspect that any changes were quite slow.

 

Somewhere, I have seen a picture of Ben Alder's cab, but I am afriad I can not recall where.
