Title: Festiniog & Blaneau 0-4-2T boiler backhead
Post by: Ozymandius on March 07, 2012, 18:27
I am gathering information on what this locomotive looked like and have a copy of the Boyd drawing, plus some photos of other models from OO9 news to help with construction of the Dundas kit.

The only thing I don't have any information on is what the business end of the boiler inside the cab looked like.  Can anyone point to a reference, or post a photo?

Thanks for your help

Hi Tony

I have never found a clear photo, so I would just base what you do on a Manning Wardle industrial loco of the same period. No one will say that you are incorrect as no one knows!

I have also sent you a PM
