Scale Drawings for Railway Modellers, Index
page.
This index page has links to take you to
the various lists of drawings, please select
the category or categories of interest to
you and click on the appropriate link. This
will take you to the list of drawings, it
will also tell you the scale of the drawing
available. A brief description of the level
of information contained within the drawing
will be provided on email request. List is
as available at April 2011. (It will be updated frequently.)
This website is specifically aimed at providing
information concerning the locating the whereabouts
of drawings for the assistance of people
working on a model railway layout or wishing
to build specific models. It is intended
mainly as a search service. The source of
many of these will be from the various published
model railway magazines.The drawings are
listed in four categories: (1) locomotives
(2) coaches, (3) wagons, (4) buildings and
structures (eg signals).
Where we are able to provide the actual drawings
(see the various lists), the charge for scale
drawings for a specific locomotive, coach,
wagon, and building or structure will be
£2- 50 per drawing subject, (for example
a loco, a coach, two wagons and a specific
building would be £12-50.) If the source
of the desired drawing is from a magazine,
we will provide a copy of the magazine, (thus
5 drawings from 5 magazines would be £12-50),
plus postage at cost.
If we are unable to provide a copy of the
drawing, for example where a drawing is marked
as SOLD, then we can provide information
as to where this drawing exists and may also
be able to provide information as to where
to try to go about getting a copy of
the drawing, ( NOTE we cannot guarantee
to be able to do this unless the drawing
is actually listed ). Where we can provide
information as to a source of the required
drawing , we currently charge £1-50
per drawing as a search fee, this fee being
to offset the time and costs in setting up
the search index
Drawing Standards will vary from a totally
accurate scale drawing with dimensions, through
an accurate scale drawing without dimensions,
to dimensioned drawings where the exact scale
as drawn cannot be guaranteed, to a basically
accurate drawing sufficient to be able to
make a representation of the real thing.
We will give a statement as to the nature
of the drawing, along the lines just outlined,
on request, so that you can decide whether
you wish to take the matter any further.
Please note, we can now accept debit or credit
card payments for paypal, but these payments
will incur the paypal service charge, (currently
£0.34 on one item, and £0.45
on two items, we will quote for greater
numbers as required.)
We are constantly adding drawings to the
lists as we ourselves index the various sources,
so it is worth revisiting the website from
time to time.
Drawings marked as SOLD, means that we cannot
provide a drawing, but see above for the
Drawing Search service.
