I have not had any luck on obtaining copies of the articles so far so if anyone has copies and is able to make a copy (hard or electronic) I would be extremely grateful, I can cover any reasonable cost incurred

I believe the articles are in the following:

1941 volume 84 issue 2083

1942 volume 86 issue 2146

thanks in advance

Hi Geoff, I am up in central Queensland near Gladstone. The wallaby is a “slow build” as I am having to use my father in laws lathe while I search for a suitable second hand one. There is certainly more choice in the UK regarding used machinery than here! You will have to post more images of your DL loco

G’day, does anyone have copies of ETW’s articles of the 1831 loco? I have not found any information or seen photos of a completed example!

Mike and Howard, many thanks for the welcome, I will certainly be asking many questions!
As for the leg pulling, being an Englishman living in Australia especially during cricket and rugby competitions is a test of character and resilience !

I have been browsing the site and like others have decided to put my head above the wall so to speak. I have plans and castings for ETW’s “Wallaby” and would like to build the 1831 locomotive to put it in! I believe that ETW had articles on the building of the loco in ME but I have not managed to source any relevant information so would be extremely grateful to anyone who could furnish any copies of the pertinent articles. I hope you are all are staying safe from the weather and the dreaded covid!
