Western Star Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This photo is an extract from a page of "GWR Wagons" by Tourret et al:- This drawing maps coupling plates to build period - I am interested in the dimensions of the trapezoid shown for the period 1900 to 1920. Can anyone provide either the dimensions or a reference to a drawing of the plate? thank you, Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The drawings in P_044.pdf are good enough to scale from, and will provide reasonable sizes for the other styles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked through that proceedings and I cannot see any example of the trapezoid plate - which page do you think is relevant to my question?

Miss Prism Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 P_044 doesn't include a trapezoid plate, but I'm assuming the plates in the GWW graphic are to the same scale. Hence one needs a bit of measuring and interpolation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
