Loco 1831

Would anyone have a copy of the articles from Vol 84 -89 on the building of this locomotive.

I have ordered the drawings from the My Hobby Store but would like to read the build notes as well. I have drawn the engine for this loco in Solidworks and would like to do the same for the loco.

I have looked on ebay but cannot see anyone that has these volumes for sale. I am happy to buy the complete volumes if the price is right.

Take a look here **LINK**

They have supplied me with back issues in the past. (I have no connection with them, just a happy customer)

The war issues are relatively rare because a newsagent was only allowed to order copies for subscribers, and not allowed any extra for general sale to the public, to save on paper/war resources

The war issues are about 60% of the size of the 1938 print, and every page is crammed full from margin to margin

The ME offices took a direct hit in the blitz at one point and a load of irreplaceable drawings/info were lost

Each volume has the sound of air raid sirens and the BBC home service in its pages

Thank you both for your help.

I will contact the website to see if I can get the copies I need.

Has anyone got a picture of one of these locos that they have built.

Dave,

I tried your link and found the domain had been suspended. Same happens if addressing direct.

Mike,

Another place to try for old magazines is Tee Publishing, who have supplied complete volumes.

However, as Ady1 says the wartime issues are difficult to source.

Link works for me.

Mike,

I've got nearly a complete set of MEs so if you can't get the issues you need I can sort you out with some copies of the articles.

I think in a later issue there may have been an improved drive system described?

Thank you for the offer but there are quite a few parts to the series.

John,

More modern transmission system in a short series starting in vol 164 issue 3970, in 1990

Robbo

Thank you. They should be easier to get hold of. I checked the index and they are in 3870,72,74,78,80,82 & 84
