Good Afternoon Chaps I'm heavily involved in building a 7mm Scale model of GT3 for my friend Bob who has MND (Motor Neuron Disease) and now can just about manipulate a joy stick to control his wheel chair. Bob has given me all his research on GT3 which he started in the early 1980s. You can't rush these things! Along with another Dave of the Yeovil MRG a tender has been produced using Bob's data. Now that I'm moving onto the loco, things don't look quite right between the produced tender and the loco drawings. Trying to scale data from drawings by Skinley and David Malton and photographs is only confusing matters as there are inconsistencies in the derived data – eg the curvature of the roof. Having been told that there's not a lot around for the GT3 I've decided to look myself and found you chaps. And what a lot of nice models you've produced. Thanks for all the info here. I'll be following up the link to the NRM stuff and be sending my daughter to the National Museum Liverpool, as referenced in the link, to look for body geometry data. So I suppose my question is, where else should I be looking? Thanks in advance for any advice. Regards Dave
