UK Rolling Stock Plans/Drawings

Post by matruck »

Hi All as the title suggests i am on the look out for any rolling stock drawings/plans please, I have most of the ones from the Barrowmore Railroad Group site but i was wondering if anything a bit more modern exists sum-where, Out here in Aus one or two model railroad mag's have a different plan or drawing in each issue and the US has the same sort of thing so are there any in particular i should be on the look out for please which contain UK Rolling Stock.
I have bought a few of the Modern Locomotive Illustrated with the Class 20/37/08 and a couple of other small shunter's which have plans in them but i was after sum-thing a bit more modern as there are a ton of amazing Flickr sites i now follow with sum incredible detailed pics of wagons so i'd like to try my hand at one first and i now have a couple of projects to start on but am always on the look out for more ( Must be the inner hoarder in me as i just love to collect and research ).
Anyways thanks for any assistance folks.
Cheers Mick. :)

Quite often the majority of content creators don't use technical diagrams to create models. Due to how difficult they are to get hold of. I personally use photographs for reference and intuition.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas, According to sum posts over at RMWebb that PDH Site isn't all that reliable and the drawings are rather ordinary but i did send him an email asking for a price to have 3 books sent out here to Aus.
Cheers Mick.
