ME letter

[pault]

Hi
A long shot but....

Back in the late 1960's, I think late 68 but could well be wrong, a letter was published by a Mr J N Liversage. In the letter he makes reference to a loco he had built called Longmoor.He also makes mention of a second loco but there is no real detail of the second loco.

Longmoor is a 7 1/4" gauge, WD 2-10-0 which has been at the Great Cockcrow Railway for many years. Thoughts were the second loco could be another WD 2-10-0 but nothing had ever been seen of it. Most of us reached the conclusion that Liversage was referring to was another loco he had built rather than a WD.

It now seems that the second WD has surfaced.

I would love to reread the Letter if anyone can find it. I have looked back as far as ME-3360 which is Jan 1969 but that is as far as I go.

Is that the loco that's just been sold by Station Road Steam. Would make a fabulous model but 9ft long! Eek!

Hi Paul,

The letter (Titled ' Model Locomotive Design') is in Volume 133 Issue 3330 - October 1967. I can let you have a copy if you don't have access to it.

One of his 2-10-0s is also mentioned in Smoke Rings in Volume 102 Issue 2553 - April 1950 along with a photo.

Hi John yes I would be very grateful if you could let me have a copy of both letters. I'll PM you my Email address if that's OK
