I think the hunslet archives are at statfold barn. Perhaps worth asking there with the works number so they can search the drawing register.

They have an archivist, and there is a charge for drawings, but they'll tell you how much upfront.

Pretty sure that is correct 2

Could I please post a request for the "A" class 060?

Investigating a possible SLNCR project..........

 

Thank You

There is a model of such a loco on this site, I believe, so the builder must have some info.

Hint hint @Galteemore

Will PM you @Rob R if I can find the details ….

[Rob R]

Thank you.

The GNR(I) loco book is a little sparse in A class details, not much beyond the wheelbase (7ft 3in+7ft 3in) but has a very nice drawing for the J class 440 though (Black Lion, Glencar).

PRONI in Belfast have an extensive GNR(I) wagon book of drawings as I photographed many of them

Does it include the 1950s designs like the cement hoppers and cement vans with corrugated ends?
The scans available from the IRRS are from a copy of the wagon diagram book that never got the extra pages. Though it does detail the CIE/UTA split of wagons by hand-written annotations. 
Just wondering if the Belfast copy had been updated with the later designs.

I have a collection of GNRI wagon  drawings on my PC, the basic outlines, as is usual.  I could post a list, or upload any that are asked for, if that's what anyone would like. Probably about 60-ish of wagons, also locos and coaches.

That would be great any drawings of the GNR bulk /hopper cement wagons built 1953 ?

Agreed - I would be interested in those too.

GNR 4-wheel grain hopper/vans would also be of great interest to me, as illustrated in this thread:

I can't find any 4-wheel grain wagons, but here are some cement ones.

[Mol_PMB]

Ah, excellent! That's a really useful addition to the pool of information on GNR wagons. Thank you!

Interestingly, the cement hopper diagram is not quite consistent with what I was expecting, but the split into 3 parallel discharge chutes certainly helps to clarify the design.

A couple of pics below from Ernie and Jonathan Allen; there are more on the IRRS Flickr:
