I just read through those issues of the Review, thank you!
Interesting reference info on Wrightlines.
I almost thought I had solved a mystery from my parts box.
I have posted questions before regarding the origins of this chimney and
dome on the NGRM online before with an answer that Wrightlines had never
produced a kit for these. I wish there was a parts list available that
would verify the identity of W931. The description does not seem to
coincide with parts.
Maybe they were intended for a kit that was only proposed like Rheidol.
They seem very similar to Rheidol but the chimney is too tall according to
the drawings.

If you look in the Wrightlines article in Review Issue 2, there is a photo
at the top of page 47 showing the patterns.

All I can add to Allan's comments are that the only pertinent Wrightlines
review I can find in the NG&IRM Review Index is about Wrightlines in
general and doesn't mention VoR. The same copy (Review 4) with loco
drawings in also has drawings of passenger stock.

Hi Sorin
Good to hear from you, and welcome. My brother lives in Romania, in a
small village near Cimpulung in Arges, so it's a small world!
The book "Vale of Rheidol Light Railway" by C.Green (Wild Swan
Publications 1986, ISBN 0 906867 43 6) has lots of very good pictures, but
no drawings.
Small drawings of both the original locos built in 1902, and the
replacement locos built by the Great Western Railway in 1923, were
published in "Railway Modeller" magazine for November 2014. Bigger and
much more detailed drawings for the 1923 locos (which are the ones in use
today) were published in "Narrow Gauge & Industrial Railway Modelling
Review" magazine, issue 4, 1990 (ISBN 0958-0808). NG&IRRM is published by
John Clutterbuck and Roy Link, who are members of this group.
Hope this helps

As this is my first post here, please let me introduce myself.
My name is Sorin Anghel, I live in Bucharest, Romania and I am a long time
modeller. My primary scale is HO (and HOe for narrow gauge) but I am
increasingly attracted by O14. Several british made locomotives were used
in Romania on 600 mm track, so I have plenty of subjects to think about.
If you wish to see my previous works, I have a blog where I show my models
(atelierulluianghel.blogspot.com<>)
but it is only written in Romanian. Usually I document my models with lots
of photos, though. As I have developed in recent years several etched
brass kits, I think maybe this is a real opportunity for me to launch in
O14. And I mean the Valley of Rheidol locomotives. I do like the model
very much, and I hope to be able to produce a high quality kit for it. I
am currently using CAD design and my models have also 3d printed parts.
So, in order to get started I want to ask you if you know where I can
find detailed documentation about these locomotives, maybe some drawings.
Many thanks in advance.
Stay safe,
Sorin
