I don't remember a V-o-R body kit but he also did a WHR Russell body.

I could be wrong (nothing new there!) but did Roger Chivers ever do a white metal body kit for these in 7mm, he did a C & M Argyll body and I have a Tralee & Dingle 2-6-0t in my "to be completed" box. These were designed to use a Bachman OO 2-6-2 chassis and I have a nagging suspicion the V-o-R tank was in the same series. I have a L & B tank which I bought completed which is one of his too, though that is on a modded "Lima" 08 chassis.

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<
m>) 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
