Originally these were sold by Camden, back in the days when they were model engineering suppiers rather than booksellers.
Their main products were the Tasker traction engine, Peter Rich's Castle and Star drawings, and the Leak marine engines, plus castings for all of them.
Sadly they dropped the star / Casstle drawings.
I do have a set, but I lent them to someone. I will have to retrieve them.
One member of the "old" list, who's name escapes me. Lives in Plymouth and is a member of the Tiverton club...
He reckons that Peter Rich himself doesnt have a complete set. Apparently there were three (?) drawings that were never finished. I believe, the tender and some piping.
Information, but I am afraid it is of little use to you.
Probably the best way is to look out for a set, perhaps on Chris Heapy's site.

Alan,
I have managed to get hold of a set for the Castle / Star locomotive, there are 29 sheets and there are no tender details......I'm hoping the owner of the set I have can be persuaded to part with them.....they are very clear, and very detailed.
Thanks for the info though.
Regards IP

In that case, I suggest you get them copied. Any decent plan printing service could do it, and the cost will be far less than a set of drawings.
