Hi does any one know roughly when the article by Martin Evans on building a LNWR Precursor locomotive was run in the magazine, I have a club friend who has recently purchased a part finished loco to this design and he would like to refer back to the original build log.

I've had a look through the magazines on line index but without a rough date it will be a mammoth task finding it.

Thanks for your help

Stew

Good Morning Stewart,

Martin Evans didn't describe the building of the LNWR Precursor, he did a series on the 0-8-0 G1/G2 locomotives. I suspect the design your friend has aquired was by Don Young to his excellent Etna design, sadly Don died before completing the series in his magazine Locomotives Large and Small but the design is now maketed by Reeves 2000 under the Etna name and it may be worth asking them if they have available those few back issues covering the early part of the construction. Also may I suggest your friend makes contact with the LNWR society, who may be able to assist.

Regards,

Bob Youldon

Hi Stew,

Bob beat me to it. It probably is to Don's Etna design. I've got all the LLAS articles if you can't get them anywhere else.
