UK Rolling Stock Plans/Drawings
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.

Re: UK Rolling Stock Plans/Drawings
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.matruck wrote:Well no wonder content doesn't get made for the game none of you here know where any plans are or are even willing to help .

That is all well and good if you are from that country Klam as photographs are not far away, I can also make content just from pic's but for the first couple sum drawings would of being handy.

Re: UK Rolling Stock Plans/Drawings
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.
