Looking for George the Fifth LNWR drawings HELP

Post by ALCOSTEAM »

We are looking for drawings for a George the Fifth LNWR locomotive. The guys at the shop are trying to get a 1" George the Fifth engine back together and its missing a fair amount of parts.

This engine and several passenger cars came from Gil Rittenberg who got them from Henry Hosper so if anyone knows anything about the engine and cars it would be nice to find out alittle info. The engine looks to of been run quite abit at one time. There is a new boiler for it and it would appear as though it was going thru a rebuild and new boiler when it got separated from alot of its original parts.

Thanks for any info

suggest you contact Reeves in the UK who own the copyright and do the castings and drawings for Don Young's 5"g 'Etna' which is of the LNWR Precurser but very similar to the George The Fifth class.

cheers,

I'm buying the boiler print because we need to rebuild it. It's in the Greenly Archive....
