Despite the needs of WW1, they were supplied as ordered. The first two were 2ft 3 ins gauge and went to India for construction of New Delhi. One was called Ganges which might account for them being the G class.
I have scanned and uploaded a file to my web site as it was quite large and I think the group has a file size limit.? I did this before Ian’s email arrived so you have two sources now!

I haven’t actually built mine yet but I understand that the original (which it looks like you have) came with 016.5 axles so it is worth checking their length if you want an 014 version.? Also feedback was that the compensation system was very difficult to set up and later kits included two profile machined plates with accurately spaced holes for the bearings.? The kit includes two optional white metal spacers that fit behind the cylinders for 016.5 but I know of a couple of modellers who have used those for their 014 versions to give a bit more clearance between the cross head and front crank pin.
Hello Folks? Looking for a little help from the group (as always) I found a Roy Link Hudson Hudswell 0-6-0wt kit in the bargain section of a shop and snapped it up(who see’s this stuff in the US) Of course it was a sack of sh….. stuff but in looking through it I thought it might be the start of something? But of course no plans or drawings Does someone out there have a set they could copy for me as a starting point? Don’t know if it could be resurrected or maybe bashed in to something else? Any help as usual is greatly appreciated? Regards? joe gilmartin
