WD Loco

[Peaky 556]

Good afternoon,
I have an acquaintance in the Netherlands who is seeking a UK War Department loco.  Is there any advice on what might be available and where to look for one please?
Thanks, Tim

Tim,

I know of plans for both the Austerity 2-8-0 and 2-10-0 War Department locos. The G3 Wiki shows that there are five sets of plans for 2-8-0, but all of the WD plans are by LBSC;  Austere ADA, US Austerity and Stanier WD. The only 2-10-0 is of course Austere ADA2 by LBSC as well!. To get the loco to corner at anything "reasonable" he is going to need maybe "Beugniot levers" on the 2-8-0 or "Gölsdorf axles" on the 2-10-0...

In what gauge?

If it is OO, then Bachmann do a 2-8-0 in several liveries.

Is it definitely a 'big' WD that he's after?
The J94 0-6-0ST's also fit the 'WD' description - was even available in G3.......

Thanks guys.  He has just informed me that he is looking for a built-up one of the following:

1.    Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST

2.    Class 08, 0-6-0 Shunter

3.    Austerity 2-8-0

4.    Austerity 2-10-0

...that is in Gauge 3 of course!

So if anyone has one for sale, or knows of one, info would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Tim
