Sorin,
You will not do any better than using the Swindon Works drawings - produced specifically for the building of the replacement VoR locomotives by the Great Western Railway in 1923. Drawing No.70560 (lo t277) comprises the general arrangement, frames and cross sections and is drawn to a scale of 1 1/2 inches to the foot. These were reproduced in issue 76 of NG&IRM REVIEW and, while this is now oop, copies of the relevant pagers, 153-159 (Vol.10) can be had from NG&I.
Besides three pages of drawings, there are numerous detail photographs, plus a history of the VoR 2-6-2T loco. While I hold physical copies of the drawings mentioned they are too big to copy at ?present due to the necessary restrictions we are all subject to.

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 () 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
