Ressaldar Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi Scott, I think you will find that the 'definitive' DMU drawing book is "A Pictorial Record of British Railways Diesel Multiple Units" by Brian Golding and published by Cheona Publications ISBN 1-900298-00-7. Unfortunately, now out of print but an 'updated' version is threatened at some time. Second hand copies do become available from time to time, but at a price. hope that this helps Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flood Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi Scott, I think you will find that the 'definitive' DMU drawing book is "A Pictorial Record of British Railways Diesel Multiple Units" by Brian Golding and published by Cheona Publications ISBN 1-900298-00-7. Mike Just a word of warning with this book. As an overview of all the different classes and a starting point it is fine but I know for a fact that some of the roof vent positions on the Class 120 diagram are incorrect as is the complete brake section side window layout for the Class 107 (it has the same layout as a Class 108 when it should be similar to a Class 104). So if it is reprinted buy it by all means but remember to check it against actual photographs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbler Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 cheers guy's as long as it has 1st generstion vehicles that were used in the eastern region i'll be a happy chappy. i'm new to DMU's, to me this is the 'darkside' are there companies that sell underframe details, bogie frame side details? i'm getting into a bit of a scratch build fest at the mo' the vehicles i want to build will be running on my Southminster layout (circa 1950-1959). scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hornby bogies (class 110) are fine for lots of DMUs otherwise look at bits from DC Kits and NNK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
