Shimon Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hello I'm new to the forum so apologies if this isn't in the correct location. I'm looking for tips, suggestions and advice for sources of drawings for Class 37, 73 and 66. Would anyone have any recommendations of where these have been published or are available from? On a similar topic, would anyone know of similar resources for drawings of the English Electric 4SRKT and 12CSVT of these locomotives too? If anyone has items they can share with me too that would also be great thanks and kind regards Shimon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of outline drawings of the diesel classes you mentioned in magazines and books and possibly online too. But I see you want drawings of the actual engines fitted to locomotives too. Rhile they probably exist, they'll be harder to find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimon Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hi Kevin, For the locos, I'm looking for outline drawings but to a scale and also showing the equipment layout underneath the solebar etc. I've found some drawings so far but they are usually without a scale or are only for vehicle length and not width or height. Engines are indeed trickier as you say but keen to try to find something. Any recommendations of books or magazines that have published these?

Arun Sharma Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 If you want a super-detailed drawing of a 16SVT then the best one currently available is probably the 1/10th scale drawing in "LMS Locomotive Profiles" No:9 - Main Line Diesel-Electrics 10000 & 10001, by David Hunt and published by Wild Swan.

Actual engineering drawings of Diesels are very hard to come by and with exception of the LMS twins very little has been published that emanates from reliable sources.

Agreed. I mention it with caution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
