<Solved and finished cake pics added> can any1 help with BCDR steam train dimensions?
Hiya folks I really hope you can help me, I am making a scale replica of a BCDR balic no. 22 in cake- yes cake! I'm really strugging to find dimensions and original colours though as all the images are all angled profiles and in B&W- I wondered if anyone would have any idea from books or even from a model they have themselves, even just length, width and heigh would be amazing as I might be able to do the rest from the old photos.
I know this is a bit odd but if you can help I'd be so grateful! I promise to post pics of the cake if you'd like to see it- it will be a masterpiece if I can get these basics :) All the best to you all G |
BCDR Sorry but which Railway
I'm guessing you mean a Baltic loco #22 Is it the 5' 3" Northern Irish one |

Yes that's the one, I've attached a picture if it helps- maybe I should have done that initially sorry!
Thanks for your help, Gray |

No. 22 was one of four large 4-6-4 tanks built for the B&CDR by Beyer, Peacock in 1920. They were painted in the B&CDR livery of dark olive green lined out in red and white On Google there is a picture of a preserved loco in this livery which may help you BTW for the line they were definitely overpowered but very good looking engines and also that is part of the 5 foot 2 inch gauge as well |
Welcome to Forum wee-gray.
I have a scale outline drawing of the loco but for copyright reasons I cannot publish it on the Forum. If you send me a Private Message via the Forum we can work out how to get a copy to you. Best wishes, John H-T. |
Thank you both so much you've been a great help- the colour was a big worry for me as I really want to get it just right.
Its a while off but I shall get some pics up for you to see the cake if you like, All the best, Gray. |

Hi folks I just wanted to thank you again and to send you some pictures of how the cake looked, I honestly could not have done this without your help!
All the very best to you both, Gray |
Great cake model Gary. I would hate to be the one to cut that bit of master work (or is it master bake)
|
Really excellent Gray! A great shame it has to be cut and eaten.
