Hello All,

Please can i ask for help? I have loved the typical 4-4-0 Woodburner since I was young. I know that there is a set of drawings of Lillie Bell in 7 1/4" guage, but I wondered If It Is at all possible to get reductions off them down to 1/4 size
i.e about A3 11 /34" x 16 1/2" ?

The reason I ask Is I can't afford the full size set, and It would be wonderful to have a full record of how a full size loco was built.

Sincerely

Tom

Are you talking about the full set of drawings, with details (about 35 pages, if I recall)? Or do you just want a side view/front view?

Hello Steve,

Thanks for replying.

I was hoping for a full set of drawings at reduced size If It didn't work out too expensive for me to pay for. I know that they were drawn By Ed Seargent to exacting standards from the full size blueprints. As I am a draftsman and Illustrator I can well appreciate the love and care he put into his work.

Sincerely

Tom

Wow. I don't know where you're going to get the full set of reduced drawings. I guess your best bet would be to see if anyone has the entire set, and then ask them to make you a copy. Or, perhaps, you could see if Michael Broggie has a set that he could have reduced for you. Good luck!
