GWR 57xx 5″ Pansy Loco.

[alan ord 2Participant @alanord2]

Hi guys, can anybody advise where I might acquire a design for the manufacture of a swivel fixture for a GWR 57xx Pansy loco. I'm at a stage now, with the build, where it is getting too heavy to turn the loco over. I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel if I can get an already proven design.

Alan.

Colin Abrey described one in ME 4253 (2005) v195 p162 if that's any help.

this has been covered before in teh last two months and many times before. Please go to the home page and do some searches on construction frame, rotation frame, build frame and other suitable words.
