Dear All,
Thank you for your responses.
The diagrams I create are in the style of drawings found in Model Railway magazines. Initially, they were for my own benefit, but I have realised after nearly 20 years, I have quite a collection. Consequently, I’m slowly going back through them to add more details. I have copies of Isinglass drawings, (for the LNER), in my collection and use these as inspiration.
My work is not duplicating what Richard and his team have produced, in fact if I hadn’t come into contact with him and Leslie several years ago at the Warley show, I wouldn’t know as much as I do now. In fact at some point I need to acquire the disks for the other companies rolling stock.
With regard to sizes and prices, initially I was intending supply drawings as PDF documents for a purchaser to print off. I live out in Romania with my family and concluded this was the easiest method. I can rescale drawings to any of the common scales and supply files accordingly to fit A4 sheets. I could supply printed drawings, but packaging and postal charges are currently unknown, plus I need to locate a Print shop near to my location, should sizes larger than A4 be required. As an example, a year ago I resized the diagram for the GNRI class A to 7mm scale for Galteemore. If I recall correctly, this ended up on three or four A4 sheets of paper.
As for prices, I was considering £7.50 for a locomotive, (with tender, as appropriate), and £6.00 for a carriage, scaled to 4mm / 1 Foot. Please let me know if this is reasonable?
JHB, if you have any details, I would greatly appreciate them. I have also received information from Seagoebox, with some more promised. It’s a shame Steve Rafferty has passed on, he may have liked what I have done and maybe helped with some details, especially Dining Cars.
Finally, give me a little time to get the list reasonable, so that is easier to read through and I’ll see if I can attach a carriage drawing without breaking the upload limit.
Once again, thank you for your reactions.
Kind regards
Paul
p.s. Galteemore, I do have a works GA for a J class and a very basic CAD file.
