Old Stuart Catalogues

[gwrdriver]

Does anyone have any Stuart Turner catalogue(s) from about 1965 or older? I'm trying to determine the last year of availability for an old Stuart engine set.

[Cary Stewart]

Which specific engine are you interested in? I may be able to help. Cary

Thanks Cary. It's the ME Compound Undertype. This was not your usual Stuart model. Designed by Henry Greenlee 1913, updated 1970 by H.A. Taylor, and I am thinking it was offered until the early 1960s. I have a 1969 cat and it doesn't appear in that one.

I have two catalogues that list it, both from the "Henley-on-Thames" days.

One (undated) shows prices in £p so was post 1971.
(On the inside back cover, Coles Power Models were listing their "Golden Anniversary Catalog" for $3.00)

The other is dated September 1983.

Alan,
I assume neither cat lists the Undertype.

Harry,
Both of those list it. Shown as the H.A. Taylor undertype.

Thanks Alan, that tells me what I wanted to know, the Taylor Undertype was made into the 1980s.

I have a feeling that it was dropped when Stuart's were sold, and if so, and if my memory is correct, it was in production throughout the H-on-T days, until Stuart's went to Guernsey.
