3 1 2 inch Gauge LBSC Juliet (Live Steam Locomotive)

Classic beginner's 0-4-0, slightly larger than, though somewhat overshadowed by, Tich
"LBSC" was the pen-name of one of model engineering's most prolific writers. Lillian "Curly" Lawrence was born in 1882 and, the time he died in 1967 had designed over 100 locomotives, building over 50 himself. An enigmatic character, not to mention one who had almost no ability to tolerate criticism of his work, he nevertheless had a natural empathy with his readers and a remarkable knack of making the most complicated workshop procedures sound utterly straightforward.
I am freqently asked to identify locomotives, many of which are LBSC designs. Below I have listed the more common specimens likely to be encountered "in the wild". Drawings and castings for many of these designs are still available, the demand for them a great tribute to the skill of their designer.

The double header looks great. I really should go my local club and see what's going on there. Matt

Superb ! Nice to see. Im currently restoring a Juliet found in an outhouse ! Passed the boiler hydraulic test just on with a complete strip down, refurb and paint. Could you please ask the chap where he got his little 3 1/2 " loco lamps from ?
