Hi Metalmad

Are you sure about the date I don't think Edgar T Westbury was even alive then but I may be completely wrong. I'm not being pedantic I Have many copies of M.E. dating from the 1940s and 50s with ETWs articles in them so I might be able to dig out some of the info you need.

I don't think I will run into copyright problems by sending them to you as this comes under educational use.

Regards Mark

1831 is the name ETW gave to this particular IC driven Loco.

Hi Mark
yes Ron is correct, the 3 and a half inch Loco was called "1831" and came out in Model Engineer in about December 1940 and continued into 41 and 42.
I would be gratefully for any help with this Guys as this stuff is getting hard to find
so far I have a few scatted articles but only a few.

Thanks fellas

My mistake I thought it was a bit odd, not only was ETW not around then but, on thinking about it, nor was the internal combustion engine.

I will have a delve into my old M.E.s and see what I can dig out
