Hello All, i have a 3 qaurters made lbsc girton (gauge 1 schools) which i am just about to start work on. I have bought the build book from tee publishing that says that lbsc did not draw cylinders for the loco and just refered everybody to the roedean drawings so have printed those instead, however roedeen is 3 cylinders with piston valves and Girton is 2 cylinder and slide valve!
would anybody please have a drawing for the valve itself?
many thanks in advance for any help, peter

Hi Pete,
The reference to 'Roedean' is strange. Apart from Roedean being piston valve as you say, it is also 3½" gauge! The nearest designs I can think of would be Dot, Diana, or Ford Pacific which are all Gauge 1 with slide valves. I can send you a scan of the cylinder drawings for those if they would help. Unfortunately my copies of EM for 1949 start at part 4 for Girton which is after the cylinders were mentioned.
John

John I have some of the 1948 Roedean articles, in particular Mechanics Vol XLIV, Nos. 1156-8 which deal with Coupling Rods, Cylinders, Steam and exhaust ways, but I suppose the Tee book is exactly the same. Sorry I have nothing for 1949 and Girton. - BP |

Anyway, if it helps - unlikely I now think - I have the magazines I mentioned. - BP |

I never met a dishonest or unhelpful one. Unlike in my present "profession" which is IT (computers). We have "Software Engineers" now...  John ;D |
