Data for british locos?

[Bill69]

Hi All,

Can anyone point me to a webpage that lists data for british steam locos?
I would like things like driving wheel Dia. cylinder sizes, bore and stroke, boiler pressure, firebox size, etc. I am sure you can guess what I am trying to do.
I have tried googling but no luck so far.

Cheers,
Bill69

Search by company and class number/name (eg GWR 45xx) on Wikipedia, and you'll find quite a bit of info (not all of it accurate).

I've resorted to Ebay where's there's a wealth of s/h books with much useful information, but I can see that given your location that wouldn't be quite so easy for you!

Regards,

Anthony

Bill,

Try this site http://www.railuk.info/steam/getsteam.php?row_id=4330 at least some of the info you seek is there.

The link above is to an example loco page, there are also listings and a search facility on the site.

Cheers

Chris

For Locos of the LNER and it's constituents try this site http://lner.info/
Very exhaustive and the Forums cover most other subjects.

Bill most thing you want are on one of these:

GWR http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/index-st.htm

LNER http://www.lner.info/index.shtml

SR http://www.semgonline.com/photoind.html#steam

a bit of searching on each will give you most (if not all) the info you require for the new e-specs

If you need a representative selection of locos for each, just drop me a line at paulztrainzusa@peoplepc.com

All my locos are set up for TS2009 and TS2010 and should match any specs you make.

Thanks all,

I think I now have what I wanted. Actually what I am trying to do is upgrade a couple of locos I have in TRS2004, they are not on the DLS, at least not now, and I can't remember where I got them.

Cheers,
