Manning Wardle class H - 4mm scratchbuild
I have built the later version of this class of loco before but this time I am building the earlier style. As with many industrial locomotives that were in production over a long period, small changes were made and in terms of pattern-making I have been able to alter some of my existing patterns in such a way that they can now be used for both early and late types but the frame plates needed to be made anew for the older version. The original firebox was too narrow but this wasn't noticeable ins
I have no idea where they were used and all I have on them is what is given in Vol.2 of Fred W. Harman's book on Manning Wardle locomotives.
