Manning Wardle loco drawings

[Marc Dobson]

Having seen the fantastic S gauge Manning Wardle at RailEx a few weeks a go has got me thinking about scratch building some Manning Wardle locos in P4. I have been looking through my books and I'm struggling to find anything other than sketches. Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent drawings? Looking for H, I, and K classes initially. I have drawings of a L from MRJ.

The Colonel Stephen’s society has a drawing archive which includes the various MW’s that were on his lines. Sufficient for me when I scratch built two engines for my WCPR layouts

That is a really good price. The book is full of GA drawings and worth every penny.

I have a digital copy of Wilson which was great as a read but the GAs weren't any good as the scan was of insufficient detail to be any good. Can you read them on the paper copy?

I am away from home at the moment but I will check as soon as I return - unless anyone else has a copy to hand.
From memory the ga's aren't too bad.

Dimensions readable!
These are cruel enlargements - the drawings look excellent 'on the page'.

 

[Marc Dobson]

That answers that question. I will order myself a copy.

I have the standard gauge one (vol2) lots of stats but no usable drawings of the old I or the K

In which case for both I and K @Rob R 's recommended Locomotive Builders Of Leeds is definitely the one for you
Unfortunately, unlike the 4-wheelers, there are no end elevations of the 6-wheelers - just side and 1/2 plan (approx. 1/35th scale).
But it is a wonderful book, an excellent review of the development of their range of designs and profusely illustrated.

Don Townsley's drawings in MRJ 12 are very useful.
