3.5" gauge LBSC Reeves "Vera" plans
Adam Clarke | 23/02/2020 09:41:37 |
2 forum posts 4 photos | I have a set of plans for a 3.5" gauge 060 Reeves loco "Vera" which my Grandfather started before losing his sight, but 2 of the sheets had been damaged and torn. I have spoken to Reeves but they have no information on this model, apparently last shown in catalogue 1972! If anyone has plans for this loco, and would be prepared to copy the 2 sheets that I require please contact me. Thank you. Adam Clarke |

![]() 1607 forum posts 69 photos | Only negative information, I'm afraid, but this was a Reeves exclusive and never apparently published in the Model Engineering press which narrows your options down a bit. On the other hand - LBSC frequently 'reused' components so do you know what is on the missing sheets and can this be borrowed from another design? |

1723 forum posts | "Piece missing" would have been a more accurate posting, BUT another example when the big "C" word needs a good kicking. Hopefully, someone may respond and one of "Grandfathers legacy" hasn't been filed at the local recycling centre. One of the late Sir John's projects was stymied due to stupidity by "The Authorities".
