Your Drawings

Each drawing is available in a range of scales, from 2mm:1ft (N gauge) to 16mm:1ft, and most common scales in between. For each drawing a separate link is provided to the file for each scale. Click on the link to view the file in a new tab or window in your browser (provided it supports viewing of PDF files), or right-click on it and select an option such as "Save Link" or similar to download the file and save it on your device.

To make downloading drawings for several scales easier, a combined "ZIP" file is also provided that contains all of the scale files for a particular drawing. Most file viewing apps (Explorer on Windows, or Finder on Mac) provide facilities for unpacking the ZIP file to access the individual files.

The Drawings

The drawings for each scale are provided as a multi-page PDF files. The first page in the file contains the full drawing, arranged for on-screen viewing. The remaining pages each contain a portion of the full drawing formatted for printing out on A4 or A3 paper. A drawing will consist of a number of views each showing an aspect of the wagon, such as a side, end or plan view. Where a view at a particular scale is too large to fit on A4 paper, overlapping pages are provided for you to join together after printing. Alternative pages are also provided for printing onto A3 paper.

To help with this, alignment guides are provided. These take the form of simple fine-lined crosses positioned on either side of the drawing view where I suggest a join be made – typically at a position where a minimum of fine drawing detail crossed the joint. Select one of the overlapping pages and cut it though the drawing along the guides. Carefully position the cut edge on top of the other page such that the crosses are reformed acros the joint. When you're happy with the alignment, tack the pages together with small pieces of transparent sticky tape (e.g. in the vicinity of the guides). Then use a long piece of sticky tape along the whole joint to properly join the pages together. Turn the joined pages over and add a further length of tape on the back.

For the drawings in the smaller scales (4mm and smaller), I've imposed a minimum line width (of around 0.1mm) so that the drawing remains printable. This unfortunately means that fine details amy become obscured or illegible. I suggest that you use a larger scale drawing to examine the details, and use a drawing at the scale you're working to easily transfer dimensions, or even cut up to use as templates.

To order copies of these drawings printed onto paper, please contact me to request a quote for the printed versions, specifiying which scale(s) you want printed, and whether on A4 or A3 paper. You can also select only certain views/pages to be printed, please also specify which. The basic price is £1.00 per sheet of A4, or £1.50 per sheet of A3, plus postage which will also depend on the number and size of sheets required.A few sheets of A4 can be folded to fit in a C5 envelope to qualify for the normal letter postage rate. Many sheets of A4 are likely to make a C5 envelope too thick for this and require the large letter rate, so may as well be sent unfolded in a C4 envelope. A3 sheets will always be folded to fit either a C4 or C5 envelope. If you need only a few sheets of A4 and would prefer them to be sent unfolded, please specify this when you request the quote.
