Allan Basic 0-4-0 Plans
Hi All,
I have a set of the original blueprints that are starting to get a little ratty. Can anyone advise if these are still being sold (preferably in PDF)? The HRC website has been down for sometime. Thanks!

Re: Allan Basic 0-4-0 Plans
Hi Jake, are these plans for 7 1/2" gauge or larger - 12" or bigger? If they are for 7.x" gauge, you might get a better response by posting your question over on the live steam forum. There are a lot more 7.x" gauge folk there than here on Grand Scale.
BTW if Grand Scale, (8" gauge and larger) it would be very interesting to see a photo of your overall profile view, or similar.
Regards
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
These are for the 5" scale 15" gauge 0-4-0 that was offered by HRC a few years back.

Re: Allan Basic 0-4-0 Plans
Are you referring to the 15" gauge Chris Allan 2-4-0? I believe Hillcrest Shops has the castings and plans for that now.

Re: Allan Basic 0-4-0 Plans
This sounds interesting! I rode behind what I think was the original at the 2004 RVRy 50th gathering. Nice little engine but he had steaming troubles that day, maybe it was still having the bugs worked out. I am working on a post from the photos of that trip on my blog but memories are fading...jessebanning wrote:I am building that locomotive for a customer. It is almost complete.

My brother was at one time in discussions with Keith Watson about getting parts made for an 18" gauge version of his 0-4-0. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

Hi Jessie,
Sounds good. I'm about 40% of the way done on the buckwalter Shay and am looking towards something bigger.
Regards,
John

Re: Allan Basic 0-4-0 Plans
I made some changes. The original calls for a 12" boiler. I was told it had issues keeping steam up since the cylinder are pretty big. I made a 14" boiler and I personally think it looks better. I also stretched the tender tank 8". The locomotive is coal fired and you sit on a small seat on tender deck and shovel coal from under seat. You get am in cab experience.

Re: Allan Basic 0-4-0 Plans
Jessie, what size are the drives and the wheels for the tender? Where did you find them?
Thanks

Glenn I had a pattern made and have 44 wheel castings in stock. The drivers are 10" OD on the tread and have steel tires. The tender wheels are machined to 8".
