Dear all
A long time ago; 10 to 20 years, there was an advertisement in the Railway Modeler for a kit of a SMJR 0-6-0 tender loco
Does anybody have any information on this and is there a chance of getting one.
Best regards

If it helps I have traced SMJ No 2 the earliest of the Beyer's with the smaller 4ft 6 in wheels. I traced it from the Beyer records on the MOSI website. The original is 10mm/1 foot scale but easily copied to smaller scales. If anyone wants a copy, please send me a message. I will have a go at the 2-4-0 tanks and two other later Beyer 0-6-0s for which I have drawings also. I have a superb side on photograph of No 13, the "express" 2-4-0 from which I think I can make a drawing. If I succeed, I'll be happy to post it here.
Sorry to hi-jack or resurrect an old thread but thought folks would be interested in this specific SMJ site group: Modelling Group
