At Scaleforum yesterday I noticed a kit on Judith Edge's stand that looks very similar to the Cardiff loco.

In the books I have the class of the Cardiff loco is not given, and I've not come across a drawing on-line of the Consett loco with which to compare it.
Does anyone have any more information?

Andrew,
I have looked a the drawing of a Kitson long boiler loco prepared by R M Drake Brockman in the September 1974 edition of the Railway Modeller. This certainly looks like the Judith Edge loco. It has a coupled wheel base of 6'11" + 4'11" with overhangs at front and rear of 5'5" and 8'5" respectively. Mountford's book on the Cardiff Railway has an outline drawing of CR No2 as Kitson works number 2458 of 1882, and shows a coupled wheelbase of 6'4" + 4'5" with the overhangs being 6'10.5" and 8'8.5".
Clearly the overall look is very similar and in 4mm scale the difference in wheelbase is fractionally over 4mm.
