Thank you! I made a new attempt via eBay towards my desired E2001, now let´s drink a cup of tea and wait... The Signal Box Cat

Hi everybody, is there anything wrong with Silver Fox model kits? I cannot establish any kind of contact for an order, neither by phone nor by email! The Signal Box cat

The French NORD Pacifics Class 3.1151-3.1170 looked very similar but with a much larger trailer wheel-set. It was quite common practice in France, Alasce-Lorraine, SACM Belfort Works. The real reason for this arrangement was a long, deep fierbox. DJH had/has(?) such a French Pacific on its range of foreign H0 locos.

So you look for a UK 2-6-4 tender locomotive (project)? I recommend BackTrack vol. 33. no. 5, the May 2019 issue. L A Summers outlined such a diagram of a never-built LNER locomotive in his article on page 316. Indeed a large grate locomotive over a four wheeled trailer should have found some use in UK.

Fascinating indeed! What´s the source of this diagram?

Neil, let me ask, what is the number/volume of the Modellers BackTrack issue you speak about (No’s. 10 and 13, etc)? Thank you, Signal Box Cat

Hello everybody, can anybody supply a good detailed diagram of the single GWR bogie tender as run with The Great Bear? Thanks, The Signal Box Cat

Hi all, Quotation from http://sbiii.com/bwapoc20.html: “The Olsen Electric - Fred Olsen came up with this one and the BW jumped on it. Using a pair of surplus ALCo Centipede tenders with GE electric components and salvaged cabs from SP Baldwin AC-12 cab-forward steamers, the BW made up this very-heavy electric (which looks vaguely like an electric version of the British Southern Railway Leader Class)”: http://sbiii.com/bwrkapix/olsnelec.gif Quite wrong, he should write, British Soutern Region Bulleid no 2001. Anyway maybe source of inspiration for British modellers? The Signal Box Cat

Hi, here is one of Mr Brigg´s projects for a British version of the Meyer articulated principle. Us Patent 1,027,810 dated 1912. Looks a little like NE/LNER, does it? For modellers, what about scratchbuilding a Hornby B12 boiler + tender body? Any suggestions concerning motorisation?

WONDERFUL!!
