Presumably, the slightly taller similar locos don't have the dropped footplate?
Sorry, I thought I'd checked the numbers before I hit the post button. The driving wheel dia. on Anita was 2' 4"......
Unlike some builders, if their catalogue is anything to go by, Hunslet don't seem to have made a habit of lowering the cab floor. My Hunslet is about the same size as Anita and is based on one used on reservoir building contracts.
Regards,

She is a little beauty! I like the dull livery. I've just given one of my locos a spray of semi-matt/satin varnish and I do think it looks better than the ones with a high gloss finish. More workmanlike.

I must have drawings of the F class. I'm away atm but be back home tomorrow and I'll rout them out and let you have them.
Sorry, I've searched high and low but can't find those drawings, I'm afraid, and I've no idea where I got them from originally, 30 years ago!

Just a thought, but following the trail of "who owns what", MW's intellectual property now seems to belong to Hunslet - who, these days, are based at (owned by?) Statfold Barn. They may be willing/able to help?
