Both designs are described in books published by the Gauge 1 Association, see www.g1mra.com The project design was producedfor the beginner but I think even in the revised books there are still a number of grey areas. The Design is based in the ex SECR class D locomotives, a pretty little locomotive. Regards, Bob
