Mystery Castings

Post by Gwarden »

Hi all

I recently purchase a set of castings and with them came a mystery set of wheels cylinders and axles along with a bunch of other bits. Since they were in a separate box I believe them to be for the same locomotive.

Can anyone identify the Make, model of the locomotive and possibly the maker of the castings and subsequent plan (which I would like to obtain)

The particulars

I have 17 wheels

4@ - 2.75" across 12 spoke
6@ - 3.125 across 12 spoke
5@ - 5.25" across 14 spoke
2@ - 5.375 across 14 spoke with no flange

The cylinders are substantial and have "LN 2" in raised letters on them.

Anyone?

Thnx
Dennis

Hmmm I thought this would at least provoke a discussion or two,

My guess is they are for a British 3-1/2 gauge 4-6-0 with 6 wheel tender. (Lord Nelson?). That is why no one here is recognizing them.

Yes I am starting to realize that. I have posted the question on a UK site. Im trying to find the manufacturer and the plans.

Thanks for the reply
