What is this wonderful locomotive

[Andrew HonychurchParticipant @andrewhonychurch36997]

Thank you Duncan. I thought it maybe inlet on the top, and there is a cutout in the frame for another pipe. I need to get the drawings and then I should be able to work out how it all works. many thanks Andrew

Yes!

Apologies for my mistake and thereby adding confusion.

The model is indeed slide-valve and the inlet is at the top with the exhaust through the frames as Duncan writes. When you get the drawings this will be clearer.

There is a four page article about a similar 5" gauge model 'Hall' in Model Engineer magazine, Vol.80, No.1987, June 8th 1939, pages667-670, which although unattributed appears to have been written by Greenly.

I have uploaded Greenly's dimensioned General Arrangement drawing to my album.  You may be able to compare principal dimensions with what you have?

Thanks to Duncan for the prompt correction.
