MS&LR and GCR 4&6 wheel coach blue prints

[woko]

Hello folks

 

Apologies if this has already been asked or a particularly dumb question, but wondered if anyone knew of where to obtain drawings to help me scratch build some 4 & 6 Wheel GCR coaches?

Any leads would be most appreciated, especially any literature that might contain drawings and info about these coaches

 

Cheers

The Great Central railway Society have a good number of rolling stock drawings listed in their archives.

Should take you there.

 

There was a series of articles including drawings of 4 and 6 wheelers in the HMRS magazine many years ago, on CLC carriages, which are pretty much GC/MSLR designs. Part 1 was in Volume 6 Vol 1 (Jan 1968).

 

Dow GCR book Volume 2 has a number of diagrams rather than drawings of 6 wheelers in the back.

 

Hopefully there will be something of use amongst those. There may be other sources and collections but those are some that come to mind immediately.

4 wheeled CLC stock  - which I think was identical to GCR - HMRS January 1968

6 wheel CLC brake 3rd - HMRS April 1969

For 3d printing rather than scratchbuilding? so if others are interested………….

I look forward to what you do.

Thanks chaps for all your help, much appreciated

 

@billbedford Those 4 wheel MSLR Coaches are lovely Bill 

 

@richard i Yes indeed chap I will hope to build these for 3d printing all being well  

 

@Andy Hayter Those back issues I'm assuming they aren't available anymore from the HMRS?

 

Cheers for all your help
