looking for drawings

[Alex Crawford]

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone may be able to help. I'm currently atempting to convert a Grafar GP 0-6-0 tank into an Andrew Barclay 0-6-0 as it looked when it worked for the Wemyss Private railway. Below is a link to a site that has some photos of the engine I'm trying to recreate.

The engine I'm looking at is the top one and the O Gauge brass kit. I like the look of the cut out in the side tanks and think it would look great pulling my Fife Coal and Wemyss coal wagons. I have already converted a brake van into WPR No3 further down the page.

Would anyone have any drawings of the Andrew Barclay 0-6-0T engines? At the moment I'm kind of guessing the various dimensions from these two photos and it would be easier if I had some drawings to work from.

Regards,

Alex

I think the original Andrew Barclay Drawings are at Glasgow University, so they might have a general arrangement drawing.

Thanks for the link.

Best wishes,

I have just done a search of previous posts and I can confirm that Glasgow University have the Andrew Barclay General Arrangement Drawings if you want to go to those lengths!

Best wishes,

Welcome to the Forum Alan.

What Andrew Barclay drawings do you have? I am involved in the overhaul of a 16" Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST.

Best wishes,

Hi Alan,

No I didn't get any drawings yet. I did find a line drawing in a book about the WPR so I have scaled that to roughly N Gauge size and I am slowly scratchbuilding the engine.

But if you have any drawings that would be great. I'm building WPR no19. This was a Barclay 0-6-0T. The side tanks had the cutouts near the front. My donor chassis is from a Grafar 0-6-0GP tank.

Regards,

Hi John & Alex,
John, sorry I don`t have `engineering drawings` ie Barclay original drawings only GA drawings suitable for model making so I cant help you.
Alex, If you mean Brotchies book about the WPR I know the drawings you mean. However I`ve also got a copy of the article & drawings 4mm scale which appeared in Railway Modeller many years ago. As a newbi how do I send them to you via the forum.
Regards Alan
