However the same system was used by the LNWR (and the GWR up to c1903) so you could widen your search for material. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswjr Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks Wagonman,I have looked at all those but nothing online,so i think i may just make and scale it to a photo,Do not think there are too many people left that will find fault in it,Must of been very awkward to put them down when off the loco with that spigot on the bottom, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
