Mayner Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The Dean Goods is a good basis for conversion into a J15 or an ex WLWR 0-6-0. The WLWR engines may have been based on a GWR design Robinson worked on the GWR under Armstrong & Dean before moving Limerick. WLWR No2 Shannon (GSR222) as built would have been very close to the Hornby/Airfix model lined black compete with square firebox There is a very useful RM Web thread on converting the Dean Goods to the round top firebox version similar to 184 or the Limerick engines in GSR days. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/62553-backdating-a-mainlinehornby-dean-goods/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
