Royal42 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) I have just come across this link about the Thornycroft A1, as I am trying to find information, plans and images of the FB4 engine. Can anyone here please help, or advise me of likely online sources? I don't have the funds to go buying the rare and expensive books; therefore, I am hoping fellow members may have so details available please. cheers, Mike Edited October 15, 2023 by Royal42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal42 Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Hello Mammoth, the intention would be to scratchbuild the engine, and the vehicle in 1:35 scale or larger; therefore, if you could help with any plans, images and dimensions then that would be appreciated very much indeed. cheers, Mike Edited October 17, 2023 by Royal42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosso 2 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I've got several FB4 engines dismantled that I can photograph for you. Dimensions too. Let me know what is critical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal42 Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hello Rosso, thank you for your kind offer of help, I do appreciate it. I am a modeller that likes to build small scale vehicles and, as such, I am looking for dimensions and images of the external components of theFB4 engine. I work to 1:35 scale, which would be much too small to produce any internal parts; although I would like to attempt that one day. If you could help with any plans or diagrams with dimensions of the engine block, gearbox, and any covers and sumps etc., then that would be great. Would it be better to send them to my email addy? mike (dot) costello (at) btinternet All the best, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosso 2 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Here's an illustration to start you off. It will be a week or two before I am in the area where the parts are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
