Hi

Does anyone happen to have a drawing of an LMS Style steam engine loco lamp or in fact any other steam engine loco lamp for that matter? Or does anyone have some rough dimensions so I can at least have a stab at making my own drawings? I cant find one online and the only way I can make the drawing is to try and scale things off photos which is never that easy.

Thanks

In 1942 F.C. Hambleton wrote a series of articles in the ME on different railway companies lamps.

The one you want is:

1942 volume 86 issue 2143 Locomotive Headlamps. Midland and London, Midland and Scottish Railways

Unfortunately while I have many of the articles that is one that is not in my collection, but if a different company would do please PM me with some alternatives. This is an LNWR one:

Well thanks for all the info, that's great about the ME article my club has a full set of ME so I will go and dig those out.

Noel that would be great, I guess all I really need is the LWH of the bottom box I guess the diameter of the lens and maybe the height to the top of the can on top. Then I can pretty much guesstimate the rest.

Jon I am in the midlands so a long way form you, thanks for the offer though. Is there any chance of getting a few basic measurements of your lamp? With just a few dimensions I can make the rest fit. At the moment I'm not sure if they are 6 inches across or a foot so a few basic dimensions will get me going.

Thanks Again

While you're looking see also 6 Nov 70 and 18 Aug 78, but I don't think these are specifically LMS
