Check your local library. I would imagine that if you could use inter library loan you could find either a few good books on british locomotives, (LNER if you are interested in Gresley conjugated motion), or a locomotive cyclopedia of the era may have a diagram. I was suprised to see the large amount of British steam stuff that the University of Louisville Library has, so I know it is available. david.wilkins@inisightbb.com |

Look at the last sentence under 'Walschaerts'. It may help. http://members.tripod.com/~TimothyPlatypus/NottinghamVictoria/SLDT2.html cedressel@chartermi.net |

Page 618 and 619 have pictures and diagrams. Alco had a license from Sir Nigel to apply his valve gear to locomotives in the U.S.A. Martyhuck@aol.com |
