Thread: Searching for old specific model steam engines
07/04/2021 17:59:39

Many thanks for the replies!

I'm told there where three engines. I don't believe Granddad was a member of a club. I'll see what I can unearth of further details.

What have been told is this:

Engine 1: named "Maisie". Had a "split boiler". Was an Atlantic class 4-4-2, 3.5" gauge. And was swapped for a horse in Chessington!

Engine 2: named "WD" or "Wardie"? Was a 2-8-0, 2.5" gauge. Was gifted to a child in Chessington.

Engine 3: named 'Royal Scot' (or Flying Scotsman?). Incomplete. 12" wheels. 7.25" gauge 4-6-2. No boiler. Had a tender, chassis, and smokebox. Sold in 1971.

This maybe a odd question. Or, the wrong place to ask, but here goes.

Back in the 60's and 70's my Grandfather built, or part built, three model steam engines. When he died the family lost track of them. (Some stories there it seems).

So, how would I go about finding where they are now?

Full disclosure: I am not modeller and really do not know what I am talking about. I can repeat back what I have been told, and we have very few photos from the period. I have contacted the nearest modellers Societies with no luck.
