I saw on a thread here, don't recall which, mention that a list of suppliers for plans and castings for loco's would be useful. This will also give a better idea of designs available by others than the usual suspects (LBSC, Don Young, Martin Evans, et al), and for prototypes outside of one's usual sphere. I figured this was a good idea and thought I'd make a start, please add any suppliers you know of, with a brief description of what they have. Perhaps the admins would like to pin this for ease of future reference. Reeves 2000 / A.J. Reeves www.ajreeves.com/U.K. A range of primarily British prototypes in 3½", 5", and 7¼", but with some gauge 1, 2½", and 12¼" gauge designs, as well as traction/road and stationary engines. Blackgates Engineering U.K. www.blackgates.co.uk/A range of primarily British prototypes, including Sweet Pea, in 3½", 5", and 7¼", as well as traction/road and stationary engines. E.J. Winters www.ejwinter.com.au/Australia A range of Australian prototypes in gauge 1, 2½", 3½", 5", and 7¼" gauges, as well as traction/road and stationary engines, also carries designs by LBSC, Don Young, and Martin Evans. Hobby Mechanics hobbymechanics.com.au/Australia A range of Queensland Railways (Australian) 3'6" gauge prototypes in 5" and 7¼" gauges, as well as traction/road and stationary engines, including IC and hot air designs. Live Steam Locomotives livesteamlocomotives.com/U.S.A. A range of U.S.A. prototypes in 7¼" and 7½" gauges, including the Big Boy. |

Guys, I know you mean well but could you please not put people's Email addresses easily readable in your posts by computer bots. The poor company will be inundated with Spam and if any of us hoped to buy something from them we are probably going to be unsuccessful as the poor company's Email will be full of rubbish and scams.

Jo,
True ... but most of those addresses are on their web-sites, exhibition web sites, Web adverts etc .... so are very well known ...... but point taken

I think the address for John Ellis is wrong, and I also think he's now retiring and is only doing boiler work for friends and friends of friends, certainly that was the case when we had our Netta boiler 2 years ago.

Of course a big player here is Polly Model Engineering.
Polly Model Engineering Limited, Atlas Mills, Birchwood Avenue, Long Eaton, NOTTINGHAM, NG10 3ND, UK
Loads of Pollys around and the variations they do now give a fantastic range.
They also do a range of drawings and castings from 3 1/2" to 7 1/4" notably the designs by Peter Rich.
