I am starting a 3-1/2″ gauge Netta. I have a set of LBSC plans and a copy of the chapter on the prototype from “Locomotives Worth Modelling” by Maskelyne (?). I intend to follow the LBSC design with a couple of changes to improve the appearance. Since I live in the States, information is practically non-existent. My question is:

o what is the slope of the Cylinders ? It appears LBSC’s Cylinders lie more horizontal than the prototype.

thanks in advance,

Bruce

How is the build going?

Ryan,

thanks for the interest. I was still hoping to find the Cylinder slope, so I put the Locomotive Frames aside. I am moving right along on the Tender.

From the meager drawings I have and my layout drawing, the angle appears to be 3 degrees – but that is just by looking at photos and You Tube.

Here in the States one can purchase ground, ANNEALED flat & bar stock from McMaster Carr (this industrial supply company has the best website I have ever come across – and their sales agents are very knowledgeable). This stuff is great to make the Frames and Coupling Rods as it does not distort. The coupling Rods for my 7-1/2″ gauge locomotive made from this material did bend slightly (.025″ bow over ~10″0.); however, I surely machined over half the weight of the material away.
