I'll try to respond to your question Chris. I'm not sure that there is a clear answer to your question, but certainly if you go to G3 get-togethers you can see...

Hello Everyone! I have just joined this group in the hope that someone 'out there' can help me. I have just purchased a part built 'Eagle'. I know it was...
Richard, I think you will be able to get castings for 'Eagle' from the National 2.5" Gauge Association, which is well worth joining if you are interested in...
My understanding is that all of Dave Goodwins stock and patterns were acquired by the 2½" Assocaition when Dave decided to retire. I believe that Des Adeley...
Many thanks to Ian and Steve who have given me the answer to my questions regarding 'The Eagle'. I emailed a similar request to Blackgates Engineering who...
Not that I'm aware Richard. This is the nearest (and best) thing to it. The Gauge '3' Society site is at www.gauge3.co.uk if that's of use. Regards, Ian ... ...
My apologies Richard (& John), I wasn't aware of this site, and I probably should have been (as I'm a member of the 2½" Association). However, for anyone...
... That (web page name) probably explain why I could never find it despite searches with Google :-( It doesn't appear to be referred to in any links on many...
This is yet another of my 'projects', the problem being that my fulltime job has taken over my life to a greater degree than I thought it would. I have not...
... Paul, I have read the other posts. I won't repeat what others have said but a good starting point is LBSC's 'Shed,Shop and Road' or LBSC's 'Live Steam...

Can anyone please supply details of what the axle driven feedpump on a Bassett Lowke 4-4-0 looks like? Ditto for the eccentric strap or preferably, has anyone...
G'Day to all from Sydney. I have just found this group and am very impressed. Does any one have any info on the 040 called Sugar designed by Rex Tingy in ME...
Hi Brian, I do not have any specific info on BL 4-4-0's, but I suspect that BL would have used their 'Standard' axle driven pump, which is shown on page 15 of...
G'Day David, It might just, but I suspect it would struggle. The engine is quite small (even for 2½") and features Rex's rather unorthodox 'shuttle' ...
Yes please Ian, I would very much appreciate dimensions for a pump. I joined the G3 Soc last year but by the seem of it was too late for the pumps!! To save...
G'Day again Has any one seen any of LBSC'S single inside cylinder 2 1/2 " gauge locos in steam ? My father is building a Rose and it would be nice to know how...
