Looking for GSR/GNR(I) locomotive drawings

[Jamie Davis]

Hello all. I have recently taken to designing locomotives for 009 scale on CAD, and 3D printing them. I have made a couple Irish narrow gauge locos, and I’m now looking to make some standard gauge ones too. Locos such as the popular 101 class, the VS class, and other miscellaneous Irish locomotives are what I’m looking to make next. I’m struggling however to find suitable drawings or diagrams of any locos whatsoever to base my models off. Anyone know of any books or other media where I can find drawings of not just GSR / GNR(I) locos, but any Irish locos at all. If anyone is in possession of any locomotive drawings or diagrams, please let me know, and a deal may be arranged to purchase some? Thanks again folks.

Irish Railway Record Society offer a set of GN and one SLNC loco drawings. I used them to build a SLNC loco out of brass.

New Irish Lines (NIL) newsletter issued a collection of loco and tender diagramss from the "GSR Drawing Register" between Sept 2104 and Dec 2016. Apparrenty it was originally intended to publish the diagrams as a companion volume to Locomotives of the GSR(The Bible) Clements and Mc Mahon Colourpoint 2008. While reasonably detailed diagrams of ex-GSWR locos omit a section/end view, some diagrams of locos from smaller absorbed companies (West Cork, Macroom,Tramore) and GSR built locos are basic outline in nature and not really suitable for modelling purposes.

Tim Cramer published a series of articles on CIE/GSR locos & stock in the British Model press between the late 1960s and 90s, the articles typically combined detailed drawings, photos and notes on particular classes.
