One thing to look out for at the design stage. Standard gauge 4-4-0s had
their frame bars outside a relatively narrow firebox. Three footers often
replaced the bars with plates in the firebox area or 'underslung' the
frame - often using plates I think - beneath the firebox. Quite
characteristic.

If you are interested in 3' gauge prototypes on 45mm track that is the scale
to use.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with the '.3' bit as you can then use a rule
divided in 1/20ths to give you your 'inches'. I think however scale rules
for 20.3 are now available commercially.

Peter, I'm sure you are right. Sloppy language on my part, I was referring
rather to Kozo.
Reading LBSC is more fun, as Mike Chaney pointed out, but Kozo's 'words &
music' are infinitely clearer, and I would guess, more accurate. I say
'guess' as I have never completed a model to either gentleman'
The LBSC of our times in my opinion. The clarity of the drawings &
instructions is just great.
