[modeleng] Re: Poultney Locomotive

Tim
I sent a copy off your email to a friend who has a pretty extensive library 
of UK and Australian railway history this was his initial reply. He tends to 
get a bit side tracked.

Hi Lee
  Have never heard of this type of loco although I have the two volumes of 
"Locomotion" by a bloke called Poulteny.  these show you everything you 
would wish to know about BR full size stuff, with lots of engineering 
drawings inside...  Complements a couple of similar books which I have from 
Germany - the Leitfaden fuer den Lokomotivendienst (Guide for Locomotive 
Service literally, the "guiding thread") and the official DB engine crew 
"Lehrbucherei" (literally, the Teaching Bookery!) manuals

I should perhaps bring you the official DB descriptions (Aemtliche 
Beschreibungen) of the Lokomotiven Br 44 (2-10-0), Br 41 (2-8-2) and Br 01 
Pacific.  They have some really good large fold out drawings to feast your 
eyes on!  Br stands for Baureihe, which literally means construction series, 
and this is what we'd call a class.



Speaking with him tonight over a couple of beers he thinks he may have some 
relevant information but would like to see the scan of the loco. When you 
find time could you please forward it to me at leegrant at mak dot net dot 
au
