Hi Many thanks to both of you. This all makes much more sense than my original source. It also ties in with the orion.math.iastate.edu website of standard steam classes which gives 14 x 22 cylinders, BP 180 psi, weight 37t, grate area 14 sq ft and evaporative surface 690 sq ft. Any information on Nyasaland Railways' numbers? Thanks again Richard

Hi I too am interested in Peckett locomotives. I have come across a reference to 0-6-0STs 1828 and 1829, apparently built for the GWR in 1931 but sold soon after to the Clevedon Bridge Company, re-gauged to 3ft 6 and the sold to Nyasaland Railways as their AA class no.s 3 and 4. The same soiurce states that they were withdrawn in 1960 & 1964. I can't find any further information - they are not listed in Masrtyn Bane's list on Wikipedia and there seems to ne no mention in teh RCTS GWR publications. Can anyone help? Thanks. Richard West
