An acquaintance of mine is contemplating building a 5" gauge Don Young designed model of Dolgoch of the Talyllyn Railway as a first loco, using drawings and castings available from Reeves.

Does anyone perhaps know if the construction was serialised in "Locomotives Large and Small", and if so what issues?

Also if anyone is familiar with this model and has an opinion that they can share, good or bad, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Clive

Hi John and Julian,
Thanks for the information. Needless to say my friend got his information from the Reeves catalogue which is why we assumed it to be a Don Young design.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to the suitability of the design/model especially for a beginner, I tried to convince him to also build a Railmotor with me, but he seems to be sold on Dolgoch and unfortunately there don't seem to be any examples to check out in this part of Canada.

Thanks,
Clive
