An original technical engineering blueprint for a 2ft 6in gauge steam locomotive, dating between 1945 and 1953. The document features a detailed side elevation, a front-end view, and a partial chassis plan. A comprehensive specification table is included, detailing a 14-inch cylinder diameter with an 18-inch stroke, 2ft 9in coupled wheels, and a total wheelbase of 27ft 7 1/4ins. The working steam pressure is recorded at 180 lbs/sq.in. The blueprint lists specific locomotive numbers associated with this class: 2204, 2205, 2218, 2318, 2319, 2355, and 2356, with corresponding dates of 20-11-45, 2-12-49, and 6-7-53. Tracing number 62283 is visible in the lower-right corner. This item is likely a manufacturer’s working document, possibly from Henschel & Son, representing a significant piece of narrow-gauge railway history. Presented in a modern dark frame.
