In as-built condition it has tapered 4-bolt buffers.<br /><br />I know that there are nine photos of locos 641-3 in the Ken Nunn collection, all in the period 1909-1915.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482192236285620357.post-75733504653610401112010-08-19T15:30:27.513+01:002010-08-19T15:30:27.513+01:00Hi Adrian,

I went through much deliberation of GERJ #36 before settling on the specification. The notes are comprehensive (at a broad level) but merit much use of a highlighter pen to focus on what is needed.<br /><br />The article by Lyn Brooks in the Journal also has a picture of 642, although roughly 15 years later than I would wish to model it. This one has to be a Blue Y14 and then the next one will be a black goods engine, at the same date but hopefully of a different batch and specification.Flymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830364621909116784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482192236285620357.post-91520835236591512652010-08-18T00:13:04.483+01:002010-08-18T00:13:04.483+01:00Yes, they are supposed to (crudely) represent the ...Yes, they are supposed to (crudely) represent the washout plugs which were a feature on the firebox from c1932. Which loco are you building? There are plenty of detail traps between batches for the unwary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
