Alan Gibson's bearings. I will use a gearbox, probably a highlevel type, and this should allow me to lift the motor into the boiler/saddletank area. I'm going to alter it to a Locke class, a stepped footplate is the main difference. See the Manning Wardle Narrow Gauge loco book which has photos and some drawings. Frank -----Original Message-----

Are you going to do the frames with the ornate cut outs as on cn 487 (page 17-Locos built by MW 1)? Also, are you going to build a new saddle tank, to be semicircular in cross section ala the prototype? Just wondering... And welcome to all our new members, there's 33 of us!

Yes is the simple answer, but nominally the one made for the Duke of Sutherland on page 16. Though the lining looks to be typical M.W. it is also similar to the early lining used on the Highland Railway of which the Duke was a director. So right or wrong it will be that style of lining but in H.R. colours. As you imply there won't be an awful lot of the original kit left. I'm going to use Alan Gibson wheels because those in the kit are too big. I will solder the outside frames provided to some nickel silver sheet and then cut out as required. Seems odd to build one to 2ft gauge that wasn't and to ignore the one supplied reasonably locally to me ( Normanton is 20 miles from here) and that was the right gauge, but it's my railway. How I explain how it came to be in Wales hasn't been tackled yet! After your e-mail yesterday I pulled the kit and the book out last night, it's getting colder on our half of the planet so it's time to start building loco's again. When I get it finished I'll post some pictures, but I've too many hobbies so don't hold your breath. Frank -----Original Message-----
