RHDR Scale Drawings?


Recommended Posts

Right, as I've now got the wherewithall to make my own things in 3D printing, I'm looking to add more things to my repetoire. There are a number of kits i've got on the go which will be filtering down in the next few months, but I'd really like to have a pop at some RHDR stuff. This seemed the best place to ask:

 

 

 

Are there any scale drawins of RHDR stock out there? I can work from photogrpahs, but I'd prefer to have drawings as they tend to better all round really. Anyone know of any sources?

Had you asked 7 months ago I would have given you some. When we moved house I dumped all the stuff that I was never going to live long enough to model.

 

My source for the drawings were either a book on Henry Greenly or one he wrote. Sorry years ago since I borrowed them from Chelmsford library and I cannot remember the titles.

Blimey, that’s rather steep isn’t it??

 

Thank you for that, but unfortunately I rather suspect it’s a tad innacuracte for RHDR Pacifics. The track gauge would enforce a true scale of approximately 1:4, but the engines themselves (for engineering purposes) are built much closer to a scale of 1:3.

 

By the looks of things that drawing would give a lovely scale pacific with the same proportions as the flying Scotsman, but not of Green Goddess and her fellow engines :)

 

Nonetheless, thank you to everyone here for your input. I have six greenly books on their way to me so hopefully there will be something in those :)
