Hi Stuart,

Thanks for figuring out.

Are a A5, A7 and A8 compound road loco , as regards the gears and shafts, the same as a R3 compound road loco?

regards Jan.

Did you not drop a tape measure across 13131 or 14100 when they were with you .....

A lot of the A7/A8/A9 drawings also relate to the R3 engines. The drawings I've used so far all reference A8/A9 & R3.

When we had 13141 & 14100 in our yard, I didn't have the A9 in the shed at that point! Besides 13141 has had a subtle modification on 3rd. Besides 15323 isn't far away... ;)

Should be seeing Gez soon though.

Fowler crankshafts/gears

keep persevering Dan.....might drop lucky with some kind soul who has a A9/R3 in bits and allows some measuring...
