1078 forum posts	Can I have some help identifying these please? I realise its driving wheels only, looking at what is here I'm guessing its for a pacific of some sort, but any guesses which one? My grandad left them to me in a big pile of junk. This is all the components I know of. When I was a kid I remember him saying he had some Britannia castings hidden away but these don't strike me as those...

1078 forum posts	Many thanks. Now the question is, does that answer the question of which project to tackle next?

2312 forum posts 112 photos	I suppose the answer to that is " can you still get drawings and any other castings needed to complete?" Someone on here is bound to know, Brian

1078 forum posts	Well quite, I think having a couple of the many castings needed does not really a project make. However its nice to dream. I'm not averse to a project that will take me a few years, including sourcing components however. I had previously thought that my first locomotive would be something smaller like an 0-6-0 or similar, however there is a lot to be said for making something larger, Britannia or otherwise.
