Hello Everyone,

I've not been doing any railway modelling for quite some time and am hoping someone can help me with a model I am currently working on. It is the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon 'Lion'. I am trying to find online or published images of the actual loco and it seems to be quite difficult to source information. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide info on any publications that have good pictures, any online sources or even dvd/video's that include good footage

In particular, I would like to see the roof to confirm it had two exhaust ports. Pictures of the battery box and fuel tank. Did it sound like a class 47 as it had basically the same power unit?

Thankyou for reading my 'post'.
