I intend to publish this as a series of drawings in Model Engineer. There will be some photos as the locomotive is well advanced with the chassis and boiler at least complete. I hope some readers will be interested in this blast from the past. regards David

2929 forum posts 41 photos	I am about to make the Boiler for my 9F Loco, The plan size shows a tube dia. of four and five eighths but I can get a copper tube of 4 and a half inches. Is there a problen if I use the smaller dia.? I would make up the dia. with cladding and insulation mtl. I have a rolling chassi and have completed the Tender. The whole model now awaits the boiler and firebox. Have yet to make the cab. Clive
