While your'e in the shed looking for bits, I'm looking for the same list of parts for an A7/A8 compound 11489, i'm also after a 2nd shaft complete with gears.

Ever hopeful

Preston Steam Services have some Fowler parts on their website, eccentrics and other motion bits so may be worth a look.

Forgot to reply to this one.

As stated in my wanted ad, the engine is an R class...you can be forgiven for being mistaken as many parts are interchangeable however the R Class had bigger wheels, steering arangement was slightly different and I think the cylinders are slightly bigger bore.

Although the build and order sheets dont exist the export sheet does - originally exported to Fowler's Sydney agents.

Cheers

Paul
