Scattergun Stanier 2-6-2 tank

Hi All,

I am looking for drawings for the Stanier 2-6-2 tank. I remember seeing an article in one of the magazines but so far my search through my collection has not turned it up. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Are we talking Surface Raiders here? Pretty sure Railway Modeller has done drawings of these and have Wild Swan do a tome on them or maybe the LMS record has some details.

Mickoo, It's a new one on me to call them Surface Raiders! I have got a copy of the RM article on the Fowler tanks and may have mistaken that for the
Stanier. I don't think that Wild Swan have covered the class, yet!

Steph, I have a pile of BRIs I got from a friends estate in the garage but not had time to look at them all yet, I will certainly have a search.

Obblgobbly, I have had a look at the other place link. Lots of info including a list of detail drawings from the NRM so I might just give them a call.

Thank you all for your help,

Ian.

Ian,

My bad, it's the Fowler ones that were called Surface Raiders, something to do with the WW1 vessels of that name making a lot of fuss and smoke and not being particularly stealthy when chasing their prey ;)

I have been looking to get hold of the defunct Chowbent kit for the Stanier cl.3 tank for use on my Great Malvern project for a while but with no success. JLTRT did not indicate any early reintroduction. The kit builds I have seen (eg Heyside layout) look good from my limited LMS perspective!

Ian,
I have been away and off line, just back. Thanks for the comprehensive list of drawings they certainly will help. It will save me a good bit of time when I get to the NRM.

I've been working on drawings across this year as you've seen from RM web. I'm happy to share once finished. I've now got a pony drawing which was an area missing.

You need to look carefully at which you are modelling as there are so many variants. Again on the RM web thread I have put together a spreadsheet of every photo I could find on line of them as a spreadsheet.

I have acquired some Chowbent etchings but no instructions. I have tried JLTRT but they don't have copies so can anyone help please? A scan would be fine.

Thanks,

Ian.

Hello Ian,

I'm pretty certain I have a set, but won't be able to do anything about it until after Reading.

Richard


Hi Richard,

Thank you very much. I am collecting info for a build but that will not start until well into next year when I complete the projects on the bench so waiting until after Reading is no problem.

Regards,

Ian
