I hope this is of interest on here, but may also be appropriate for the full scale stuff too!

That's very interesting Les. It's amazing what turns up in these searches
for archives. I will pass on to Ian Allcroft.

Hi John,

The recent thread about Cowans Sheldon drawings has an answer on the templot
club messages:-
http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_topic.php?id=1562&forum_id=5&jump_to=9810#p9810
http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/archives

there is a list in pdf form here:-
list_of_cowans_sheldon_archive_drawings_from_cumbria_cc.pdf
This is the message:-
Hi All,
Have just done some research trying to find out details of the turntable
which used to be located at Birmingham New Street Station, and I was
directed to an archive source of Cowans Sheldon drawings.
The archive is held by the Cumbria County Council Archive department, and
copies of the drawings can be purchased from them.
I had the following email details from the Cumbria CC regarding their web
site:-
| "We can certainly make copies of the plans for you. Due to their size
(generally A0) these would be copied digitally. Our digital copying charges
are £40.00 for an A0 copy; £30.00 for A1; £20.00 for A2 and £5.50 for A3.
Alternatively, you can purchase a digital camera licence (£5.00 per day) and
photograph the plans yourself." |
| "Further details about this service are on our web pages at |
http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/archives | Please select the link `Research
Service'
from the left hand side of the home page. It is also possible to
view the catalogued part of the DB 40 collection through our on-line
catalogue CASCAT; please select the link `Catalogues'." |
I have made a complete list, from information received, of all the available
drawings known to date, which also includes a very large list of the
drawings not yet catalogued on-line, this complete list is attached below in
the form of a PDF file, be warned it is very extensive, some 209 pages long.
My hope is, that it will be of interest to other members.
All the best,
Brian Nicholls.
I hope this will be of use to both yourself & your enquirer.
Regards,

I HOPE THIS IS OF HELP TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THESE ARCHIVES,

REGARDS

IAN A.

Very good. Thankyou.
I havent been to the Carlisle Records Office for some years but I knew they were doing some work on listing these during the period the place has been closed whilst the new building was under construction.
About a year ago I had asked them for an electronic copy and was told such was not available and I would have to visit the archive. I was not offered them by post. ( possibly they were too busy reopening? )
I will now compare them with the inforation I took down and see what is new and what more can be explained.
