Flatiron2000

Thanks Compound2632 for your reply.

Does anyone know where I would be able to find images detailing the motion of an LMS Standard 3F?

Thanks for the reply Covkid, and apologies for my delayed response! I had planned to use cab drawings of other locomotives built around the same time as the Flatirons, however I have found the drawings I was looking for at the NRM. The cab layout is depicted in great detail in Derby Works Drawings 07-7026 and 07-2027, titled 'Pipe and Rod Arrangement' and 'Pipe and Rod Arrangement End Views' respectively. The search catalogue does not specify that these drawings are of the Flatirons which is why I did not initially find them.

I know this thread is pretty old but I thought I'd add that there is an overhead view of this style of safety valve cover in Derby Works Drawing 06-6965 titled 'Clothing Arrangement'. The drawing is specific to the 0-6-4T Flatirons and a copy can be viewed at the National Railway Museum Archives at York, though the catalogue does not specify the locomotive class.

Hi all, I am planning on creating a computer 3D model of the 0-6-4t 2000 Class 'Flatiron' Locomotives as originally built. I have managed to obtain some wonderfully-detailed scans of some of the original Derby Works drawings from the Midland Railway Study Centre. The problem I have is that the drawings do not show any of the cab detail or firebox fixings. I have searched through the NRM's Derby Drawing Register and the HMRS website but to no avail. Does anyone know if such a drawing exists? If not then I'll just have to compromise, which isn't so bad considering how enclosed the cab is. On the HMRS website, I did see a some firebox fixings arrangement drawings for various 0-4-0t locomotives built around the same time as the Flatirons. Would they have had similar cab layouts? I also noted that the Flatirons were originally built with H1 class boilers. Would other locomotive classes with the same H1 type boilers have had similar cab layouts? Thank you in advance.
