The LNER Encyclopedia

Hello I was just wondering if anyone could get me some pictures of this tank engine. I ask because I live in the U.S. and I hope to make a model of it for my Railway that I'm going to start building soon. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The name rang a bell so I tried a bit of searching. I assume you mean this Bellerophon:

http://www.vintagecarriagestrust.org/Bell.htm

There's a book listed on that page, and a link to its current location at the Foxfield Railway.

For drawings you may need to contact the Vintage Carriages Trust. It might be worth a trip to the UK to take pictures! (I do that for this site, although I do have family in Yorkshire, which makes it easier)

The loco is surrently in a dismantled stater at Foxfield so any attempt to photograph it will not be the best. There's a photo of it on a Yahoo Group:

and at:

Try googling and you should find quite a few. Not many close-ups, though! It has recently been around in full cab and basic cab guises.

Thank you very much I had the pics from the Foxfield Railway site already but that one of the engine from the back was new. This forum will be a great help as I model my railway I would come to the UK myself but at the moment thats not possible. Thank you again.
