Tom,
You might want to consider that Slater’s are about to or have already
released a 7mm kit to build the manning Wardle and also the Baldwin loco as well
they have developed driving wheels for both models.

?
Dear
all, firstly thanks to the moderators for letting me join the
group. Back in 2014 I posted an advertisement in the L&B magazine and
Model Railway Journal inviting enquiries for a model construction project I
planned to undertake. This is to build to the highest possible standard from
scratch models of the Lynton & Barnstaple Manning Wardle 2-6-2t engines in
7mm scale. Designed and developed using CAD by myself from a set of works
drawings, construction will be all metal, using nickel silver and brass with all
details accurately reproduced for any given period in the prototypes
life. This year, the first of these models is expected to be started, and
I am again inviting enquiries to be made for additions to this very small batch
of models. As a proviso, they will not be inexpensive as they will necessarily
be highly time consuming to make. If you are interested, please contact
me directly if you wish, and we can discuss matters. I hope members of
the group won't consider this invitation too impertinent. Best
regards Tom Mallard
