Searching photos or drawings

Post by St.Michael » Sat Dec 28, 2013 6:58 am

Hi all.
On my childhoods industry railway "Sandarne Askesta järnväg" this shunting locomotive was in use:

I´m interested in finding more pictures from the overbuilding, the cabin.
Here is another picture showing it bare naked:

It was built by the producer: Alexander & Chaplin.... Carmstonhill Engine Works, Glasgow
The reason, of course, for my research is that I´m trying to find out if this could be something for me to build for the ØVJ. The idea would be to put it on a Regner Willie, or something likely.
What I´m looking for are some different solutions on overbuildings, it doesn´t have to be that actual loco from Sandarne
Regards from Michael

Hi Michael,
I found this thread on another forum which has some photos and further links. It looks as though they didnt have much more than a simple iron roof on an iron frame.

Thank you, philipy :D  Not exactly what I´m looking for, but very inspirational :D
The overbuild on the loco in Sandarne (Sweden) is of course due to winter conditions at the area, where you could get temperatures down to -30 C.

I have searched further on old swedish locos, and come up with theese:

and this one, witch might be the overbuilding:

The next picture is maybe more what I´m looking for, but in my fantasy the original shunting loco was equal open in both ends and had some kind of cabin in the middle...?

And this last picture, not what I originally was looking for, but don´t you agree that this train would be smashing on a garden railway?

Yes! mr.MDLR, I didn´t know you speak swedish ;)
(actually, with some aid from google I found out that it means
" Stockholm Västerås Bergslagens järnväg")
