I have a part built Mabel loco that I am in the process of finishing. I purchased it in its current part build state and no information was included with it. I was wondering if anyone has any drawings digitally that I could possible have or purchase. Also any build articles.

Thank you in advanced for the help.

I wouldn't like to see an infringment in copywrite from copying them, but I imagine there is a second hand set lurking away somewhere. In the meantime, if you struggle, they are available new from Reeves:

Mabel

 

I have no connection with this company

It was written up in part until LBSC's death in ME volume 132 and 133.

Martin Evans gave two or three articles to complete it in volume 134 (including a design for a boiler for the 5" version)

Over the year there have been notes on alternative valve gears for the big Mabel by various authors.

Thank you all for the information. I noticed that Reeves had these listed. I was really looking for a second hand copy. I was hoping someone had it together with the writeups.

Is it possible to just get the write up's on this subject from ME without getting the whole magazine?

Has anyone purchased any plans from sarik hobbies? https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product/mabel-3-5-in-lo97/

I noticed they also had the plans listed as well also seem to be slightly cheaper then reeves.
