I think you're going to struggle to find drawings for the Bassett Lowke tug.  They were more or less "ready to run" models so drawings may not be available.  You could try the Bassett Lowke  Society but I think they are mostly concerned with trains  http://www.bassettlowkesociety.org.uk/

I still have some of the original drawings of this similar Bassett-Lowke Tug I built in 1969 (so they are a bit faded). I know it's not quite the same
I built it from these B-L plans. It has a Bassett-Lowke boiler and twin Stuart Turner steam engines. I'm currently giving it a refurbishment.
