81F Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Does anyone know where I can find a drawing for an LNWR Prince of Wales class loco as I am considering building one. Alternatively the name of a book/magazine containing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Have you tried the LNWR Society - lnwrs.org.uk? Membership may be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Giggling it brought up many hits including drawings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81F Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 Many thanks, however Googling was the first thing I did. Aside from many good side views like the one in RAF's post but I could not find a line drawing with at least one dimension I could scale from.Strangely it did return a really good drawings of a Cloughton and an 0-8-0 but not the Prince of Wales.What I am probably after is a book and while I have found one it doesn't say if their are drawings :( I have already made a start at sketching up something from the photos, but need to check a few key dimensions concerning wheel spacing so I can compare it with the Hornby Chassis I hope to use (an old B12 chassis notwithstanding the slightly undersized wheels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Maybe this guy has drawings https://www.stationroadsteam.com/3-12-inch-gauge-prince-of-wales-stock-code-11146/Scroll down the page here https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/building-an-lnwr-prince-of-wales.1171541/ and see this drawing, not too good on quality but maybe available in higher resolution.

threelink Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Railway Modeller produced drawings of all sorts and still does. Consulting old issues may well be productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81F Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Thanks RAF, I did see this drawing which got my hopes up until I counted the wheels - it is the 0-8-0 I mentioned earlier.Threelink, I am 99% sure you are right about the RM having a drawing and I possibly even owned it once. However, when I moved out My Dad chose to store most of my old RMs in old bread bags in the garage. Sadly the smell of bread attracted mice who proceed to eat most of them!

threelink Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I think that past issues of RM have been digitised and can be viewed on line but I suspect that a fee/subscription will be required. I hope the mice choked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesXRN Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 The RM back copies do indeed go back to 1949, you have to subscribe to the magazine first for access to them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
