Dan and Jan

According to a list of drawings from Reading they have the following:-
52607 - Road spur gearing - A7 only
58797 - Road spur gearing - Traction
59560 - Road spur gearing - Road loco
These are from the A7,A8 list

On the R3 list there is:-
52607 - Road spur gearing - agricultural engines
58797 - Road spur gearing - agricultural engines

And the A5 list:-
48391 - Machine cut gearing Road loco
48397 - cast machine cut gearing - Road loco
47267 - Road spur gearing - compounds

Jan, Fowlers called the gear change mechanism "clutch gear"
Hope this is of use,

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.

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