Came across this in the latest Gauge 0 Guild Magazine - a new kit being developed by Taff Vale models and the G&SWR Society. The reason for this posting is that it appears to be similar to the Irish inside cylinder 2-6-0s. How similar, I have no idea, but thought it might be on interest to some of our learned brethren.
Designed by Peter Drummond and introduced in 1915 and mainly used on freight traffic, they wandered all over Scotland & also ventured on to the Settle & Carlisle line. A superheated version of the 279 class 0-6-0s, the pony wheel was added to cope with the extra weight. The last one was scrapped in 1947.
No idea whether there are any dimensional similarities & suspect there is little chance of the kit converting into one of the Irish 2-6-0s, but thought in interesting enough to share here. Comments welcome!
