    I'm beginning to cast around for a new project and I do love the Vale of Rheidol 2-6-2s however I can't find any drawings for 7 1/4" gauge or even another gauge that I could scale up. I thought that there was a 3 1/2" gauge set of drawings but I cannot find them. Can anyone help?

    Thanks.

    There is one that occasionally runns at Echolls Wood, Kingsbury. Selsig, on here, has driven it and may be able to help if you PM him

    It's 7 1/4" built by Harry Powell. Dennis Bates of Canley near Coventry also built one back in the 1960s which was a pioneer narrow gauge 7 1/4" loco and in a way was semi-responsible for Roger Marsh to consider building "Tinkerbell".
