WD Austerity

[Philip MonsbourghParticipant @philipmonsbourgh32229]

Having finished the design work for a WD Austerity saddle tank loco in 5' gauge, I recently began searching for suitable castings from similar tank engine designs that might prove useful in construction (ie. axleboxes, smokebox door etc.).

I would be interested in contacting anyone who is, or has; constructed the 'Saltley', 'Jack' or 'Nechells' loco's (all from the Reeves catalogue). so that I might be able to chk dimensions and determine the suitability of a few of the listed castings. Other suggestions are very welcome.

The link below contains a few images of the 'Austerity' design to date.
