Many thanks for all your kind help. The Simplex web site was the first google gave me, it is a good starter but does not contain too much details..
 
I am still at the beginning of the learning process, i am studying all the drawings and articles, found some old books about live steam modeling, boiler making etc.
My experiences as an engineer are in other fields than steam models...
Making the boiler will be the bigest challenge, but step by step ....and with such a great community on the web it should be doable.
 
I never saw a Simplex running live (besides youtube), it would be much more easy to know somebody who ones one near to my home but in germany i found nobody, yet. All of them seem to be located in England (, of course) .Perhaps i have to consider that planning my next family summer holiday target...

Hi David,
at least with me that worked. but by the way my dad is still alive...
but due to the fact that he is 77years old now ia am starting to think in a melancholic mood about the times when i was a little boy visiting model steam meetings with him. We even traveled to the uk for this reason from germany...so i decided to finish what he started.
 
regards,
joa

Hello,
i am starting to continue the building of the Simplex loco, my dad started about 30 years ago. Besides the drawings i have no further instruction material. I am searching for copies of Martin Evans' articles, published in the Model Engineer vol 133-134 (1968!) and 1987. I am located in germany so it is hard to get these issues from the local library. Is there a way to get these articles (as pdf, or real paper) ?
 
 
Many thanks,
Joa
