Fairymead 0-4-2 Loco

[DafyddElvy]

I'm wondering if anyone, preferably in britain, has a live steam Fairymead 0-4-2 loco they might contemplate parting with, or a set of parts produced by Argyle loco works a few years ago, if a complete model I would prefer a working engine, however I am not adverse to taking on a loco that needs a bit of TLC.

Alternatively, and I know its a big ask, if someone had a loco I could borrow, or visit, to take sizes off with a view to making a loco myself, all options can be considered, thanks.

David,

Found this of the web but you probably have it already, rode behind it at a private railway at Toronto, NSW some years ago.

Another link Preserved Steam Locomotives Down Under - Baldwin 10533 unfortunately the LMLS web site is 'deceased' at present but may return.

I think the loco is somewhere else now, possibly being worked on....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tzdVvpYUgo

Not much help as to dimensions unfortunately but may help with some fine details in future.
