Steam Loco component interconnection diagram

[Trevor Wood 6Participant @trevorwood6]

Hello fellow engineers!

I am building my first loco – a Kennions “Butch” and am reaching the point where I need to start connecting together all the different subsystems / valves / pumps / tanks /gauges  etc. I have been unable to find any info on how all these parts are connected together – ideally I would like to find a schematic diagram. Ive done a web search and have Martin Evans book, but so far haven’t been able to find a “plumbing” diagram.  Does anyone have such a thing, or know a book or reference I could get to explain how it is all connected together?

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks, Trevor

Hi Trevor, I have a “butch” in 5″ and all the drawings. There isn’t a pipe plan as such that I know of, and not all were identical, ie, not as to the drawings = modified.

I will answer specific questions as best I can. What do you need to know ? Send me a private message and I can give you my contact details. Where abouts are you ? Best wishes.  Noel.
