thank you , at least it gave me some indices it could be interresting to model, but if I decide to do this one day , I will probably make myself an inventor and imagine it as if it was built, a sort of vision of a british version of l'aigle. I will see if I can find more information

This engine fascinate me (Don't know why) its why I want to built it I modeled one about 10 years ago for a N gauge railway, but to small , no informations and poorly made, the next one will be better, and yet, if anymore information appear I will be able to modify it by the way @Killian keane I found for the first time the 0-4-0 schematic on you post do you have more informations about this proposal ? it look so odd with those big Wheel thanks

I believe I have finaly find the solution to the valve gear you was true about it. thanks ! but If what I "believe" is true I also understand why it was rebuilt in 1858... very unpractical to have all the gears over the boiler, (I also imagine the driver having to concentrate on is job wile he can see everithing Moving "on" the loco ) by the way sorry to everyone who read my texts. my English is not really good

to be honnest I only find side view or schematics of the loco in the 4-2-2 and 2-2-2 version. and yes I'm doing research about the whole work of Crewe , its still helpful. ny exemple I will use certain part of the 2-2-2 columbine from Crewe for the front and aft part I can't see I know that anybody could prove I'm wrong, but I want to be "near" the reality. since it a personal project I'll do my best :) but if people can prove I'm wrong will I'm doing with the few little information I can find, I can also ask "what information you have to prove I'm wrong" In this case it's mostly it could be best to use the word " interpretation " and not model of the original engine

Thank you Richard :) I hope, one day to be able to model this loco in the most accurate way possible :)

Hello I have two questions, my first one is about this drawing of the Trevithick 4-2-2 it is on the 2-2-2 version I Wonder what is the use of the apparatus pointed on my picture, it is the break ? if yes do you know where I could find a good schematic of such thing? I want to model it but I only find side picture my next question Do you have more information about this proposal of a 0-4-0 engine ? Thanks very much for your help
