[modeleng] Re: drawing identity

Hi Alan
Wow, what a find!

It's obviously a typical saturated 0-6-0 goods engine of the Victorian era, 
complete with wooden buffer plank, but what railway was it built for?  The 
round-topped cab suggests the Great Northern Railway, but engine appears to 
have a large nameplate on the side of the boiler, and as far as I know, the GNR 
didn't name its engines.

This is definitely one for the historians!

Regards
Ron

  Subject: [modeleng] drawing identity


  When taking some rubbish to my local tip yesterday, I spotted a drawing in 
  the pile of "interesting things" they keep there.
  For the princely sum of 50 pence, I obtained the drawing of a Neilson Reid 
  locomotive in a rather tatty frame.
  Having removed it from the frame,  I scanned it.

  (Due to the size, it is in two parts.)

  The only books I have dont give enough information on the company to 
  identify the engine.

  Has anyone any idea of the date, and for whom it was built?
