Hi all,
Anybody have any information on this loco, Has anybody built one or know someone who has please?.
Rang Reeves for a GA drawing, but I can only buy a set at £99. Apparently they have to buy the drawings in and can only buy them in sets!.
Sounds like Reeves are the agents for this design, Any idea who did the design?.
I did notice that they do very few castings for this engine.
Regard's
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
I presume it's the loco designed by Stephen Wessel. There was a brief description of the design in ME Vol. 200 issue 4316 but I don't think there was an actual construction series.

Not sure i believe reeves regarding drawings.... the drawings for Doncaster used to be available separately but now only as a set.. I will have to buy a new set at some point in the future as some of the drawings are faded, luckily only the ones that I've completed but I will need a complete set for maintenance in the future.

I don't know if it is the same Stephen Wessell who designs and builds IC engines, but if it is here: modelengineeringwebsite.com/Gnome_monosoupape.htmlis a page from 2012 with his then email: stephen@wessel-flutes.co.uk He has also posted on the Model Engineer web-site on a couple of occasions.

Is this from a particular prototype? Its vaguely reminiscent of Hunslet's products on the Tralee and Dingle, but I don't recall one called 'Aquila' An attractive engine anyway.

I remember the ME article, I think the loco is freelance rather than based on anything in particular.
