Neil,
I came across a note about Beyer Peacock drawings today. Forthe double frame goods 2 GAs are available from the Beyer Peacock archive at the Manchester Museum of Industry and Science.
1. Order no 933 (1866) Works nos. 569-574 (also covers engines under order no 2055)
2. Order no 2879 (18720 wORKS NOS 1163-1168 (also covers engines under order no 3011)
Hope this helps

I'm not sure the Beyer peacock archives have been re-opened - they were closed down for a number of months while refurbishment of the main building was ahppening and this seems to be running late.
I am still trying to get an answer ...
