844fan Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 The topic here has just brought something to mind. A scale drawing of the little Lively Polly type loco was published in a model railway magazine, probably around the late 90's - early 2000's. I think it might have been in Model Railway Enthusiast or Model Rail, but I can't be certain. It definately wasn't RM or MRJ, and I don't think it was BRM, but it could have been one of the other lesser magazines of the time. I remember buying the magazine specifically for the drawing - I thought I might be able to adapt a Tenshodo SPUD to power it in 4mm - change wheels and add cosmetic coupling rods etc. That idea was scuppered when I accidently threw out the magazine with a load of old ones during a clearout. I've just been doing a web search, trying to track it down, but without success so far. Any one else remember that article? Alan. This is why I only throw out magazines when they become ruined. Oh I hope someone knows of the article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted August 27, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hello, I'm planning a trip to the north east next weekend and would like to see the Kitson long-boilered 0-6-0 (A.No.5) as I'm building the Judith Edge kit at the moment. Can anyone tell me where it is currently located? Beamish? Tanfield? North Tyneside? Many thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted August 27, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2017 Japan's No 40 has a very Taff Vale look about her, a long way from Treherbert! Many reminders of Cardiff Railway 0-4-0ST here, GW 1338 and still with us, and the Coppice Colliery 0-6-0T looks like a sawn off Cardiff Railway 0-6-2T. Many thanks for posting these, Sir Douglas!

Killian keane Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 No. 5358 originally carried the name 'Thomas', appropriate given that I theorise it was the inspiration for Wilbert Awdrys original sketches for another tank engine of the same name Compare with this image, the cab windows are different though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 FC Buitron no. 1 is substantially a locomotive supplied by Hawthorns of Leith. Unfortunately there has been confusion (including IRR articles) that have confused it with the later Kitson loco, when partial rebuilds were carried out at the railway's own workshops - but its outline remains true to the original HofL design and maker's numbers stamped on the motion fit with that company's builders records.
