Bulleid Locomotive References and Related Material.
|
|
|
|
Information is slowly growing, and more will be added as people bring items to my attention.
I have been offered access to some drawings, patterns and other digitised information for certain locomotive designs, and will try to share this info as time allows.
If anyone has unwanted patterns, laser cutting templates, castings or parts that may be of use to other Bulleid locomotive builders, I am willing to act as a librarian for the items.
In the displayed tables, you may click on an under-lined column to re-sequence by that column.
