A friend of mine is interested to build a 5“ gauge version of the Darjeeling and Himalayan Railway Locomotive, class B 0-4-0 built originally by Sharp Stewart.
Does anybody know if and where drawings or even castings are available?
Regards
Walter

I'm trying to think of a joke involving cups of tea, but can't - so this is just a gratuitous post to get my third green star!
Good luck with your teapot!

I own the 12-1/4" gauge B class ("Sherpa") at the Fairbourne Railway, which is currently being reassembled after major overhaul - a beautiful machine! I have tried to get copies of the drawings, and details of any patterns available, from Reeves together with those of our other engine for which they allegedly hold the drawings and patterns. They wouldn't even bother to look!
