Title: Festiniog Locos
Post by: theelliotts on December 26, 2012, 17:23
Does anyone have drawings for the Festiniog Railway Little Giant or other original 0-4-0 St locos with tender? 4mm would be preferred.

Thanks, and good wishes for the New Year.

I know its the wrong scale, but the 7mm scale narrow gauge association produce a couple of books of drawings of Ffestiniog stock.  If you can get hold of one of those you could reduce it on a photocopier or computer to the right size.  A quick search of their website (which I can't get to at the moment for some reason!) Should provide a list of the drawings their books contain.

Hope this helps

Cheers

David,

As Jaymz says, the 7mm NGA booklets have some Festiniog drawings but in 7mm of course.   Booklet no. 8 "The Festiniog Railway Historic Drawings - Locomotives and Rolling Stock" has Prince in saddle tank form.

JIC Boyd's "The Festiniog Railway" vol 1 has some drawings including one of the 0-4-0's but not clear which, also with saddle tank, and one "purporting to be Welsh Pony" dated 1867 but "being innaccurate in certain features",  all of these are bigger than 4mm scale.  There is also one of The Prince again with saddle tank, smaller scale, closer to 4mm, but not exact.

What loco do you need and at what date?

The problem is that the England locos changed quite a lot over time, with each one
