Hello all, thanks for accepting me onto your forum. I am considering a 7.25 inch loco build and am seeking advice! I will create a thread in General Chat shortly.

A warm welcome to a wonderful gang of model builders.
There are two Threads on Jessie Builds on here and the Drawings are probably the best you can possibly get. I had a Miss spent Youth mostly involved driving a 1366 in 7 1/4" gauge belonging to Keith Wilson. Parts from GLR Kennions and another locomotive which is a nice size.
Another is Dart and I heard that someone is using my drawings scaled up to build a 517 class. An early version of Dart. I met someone who has spent 10 years building a pair of Darts. These are perfect and the detail he has incorporated.
I am reworking a Twin Sisters set of Drawings to 1 1/16" to the foot which gives you a slightly bigger Loco. Drawings can be scaled. Nice size, easy to get wheel castings. And the cylinders blocks of cast iron.
David and assistant Lily.
