Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the best location for such a request... Among the number of different interests I have in building up a collection of 7mm stock is to scratchbuild one of the tiniest standard-gauge locomotives I know of - the theoretically BR '15097', seen on this page;
http://www.lner.info/locos/IC/y11.shtml
Has anyone come across a useable general arrrangement diagram - heaven forbid a front-and-side scale drawing - for this or the similar family of locos? I'd like to plan out and etch up a chassis/frame and possibly rapid prototype up the pressed metal "body" or use etched brass. Most likely to try and use a Steam Era Models' Black Bug power unit - http://www.steameramodels.com/bbeetle.htm.
I have "a little" experience with computer design and model railway related items (the specifics of which I can't publicly disclose!) and am familiar with etched brass design - but I've never operated in the size and severity of 7mm before!
I'm only really interested in making one for myself - however if I'm able to piece together something useful, I might be persuaded to make etch artwork available to members here to 'DIY'... sharing is caring!
