Start at: www.steamlocomotive.com.  Read their FAQ section.  They recommend several other sites including:

http://www.nymr.demon.co.uk/works/works.htm

http://www.railway-technical.com/st-glos.html

http://www.keveney.com/Locomotive.html

That should get you started off.

Regards

Ed

This site does a fairly good job of getting to the nub of it.
