LBSC GROSVENOR

[StirlingSingleParticipant @stirlingsingle]

Hello,

 

Was this model ever serialised and were castings available? Looks like a nice engine.

 

Many thanks,

Hollingsworth’s ” LBSC-His Life and Locomotives” lists all of LBSC’s designs and their associated magazine descriptions -if appropriate. Sadly, Grosvenor does not appear to be one of those engines that was serialised. I’ve always been attracted by single wheelers, which is why the great unfinished project is a Jenny Lind.

regards,

Rod

No, Grosvenor was never published. A friend is building one just using photographs of the full size loco. I think he’s now got a tender and air running chassis completed. I presume he’s producing drawings as he goes.

 

We were fortunate to have the original on the 2½” Gauge Association stand at Sandown either last year or the year before (can’t remember which )

Hello All,

As John mentions I am building Grosvenor similar to LBSC’s
version. I am drawing as I go and if the design is successful I would hope to
make the drawings available. Other than the wheels, very few castings have been
necessary so far. Please see the album section for some recent photos.

Regards,

Carl
