Hi all
The massive sort through of materials continues, although more floor than models is now showing. I found two bags of wheels, completely unmarked. I would appreciate thoughts as to whether my thoughts are correct.
These two pictures are I feel wheels for a WD 2-8-0, dimensionally they accord with Mr Sharman.
These I'm not so sure of. The pony wheels are 3'2" and 3'8", the drivers 6' 0", and the tender discs 4'0" . Now given that my friend believed the centre of the universe was Darlington, I think an LNER prototype is most likely. and the only sensible suggestions are either P2 or V2. Not enough drivers for the P2, but disc wheels on a V2 tender, Mike Sharman suggests it happened but Willie Yeadon make no mention and I don't have the relevant RCTS volume to hand. Therefore does anyone disagree with my suggestion.
Kind regards
Martin
