G'Day Everyone,
On the cover of the June edition of EIM was photo of a DRG Class Kriegslok locomotive. I was given the rolling chassis of a 5" version of this locomotive. It has the coupling rods fitted, suspension and the like plus quite a few bit's and pieces. What I don't have is any drawings either scaled to 5" or works drawings.
Does anyone have any thoughts on where I might be able to obtain either works or model drawings?
The other possibility is that cylinders for example,from another model may suit. I have the drawings of Evening Star so I may have to adapt them.
Thanks for any help,
Cheers,
Arch

Hi Arch;

1) I'm not sure whether it'll be a class 50 or a class 52. Kind of the same; but different.

2) I remember someone (clarksons rings a bell) producing drawings and castings for a 5" gauge one - maybe looking through Model Engineers magazines would bring up a small ad?

3) There are lots around still; I was in and around a few in Poland a few years ago.

4) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRB_Class_50 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRB_Class_52

5) Elevation drawings should be on line somewhere... lots of pictures on line also.

6) www.primeportal.net/transports/kriegslokomotive_br_52_home.htm

7) www.parowozy.com.pl/ty42.htm - note the elevation at www.parowozy.com.pl/ty42rys.jpg (this is a class 52) (clicked on the Rysunek techniczny link in previous page)



Hope this helps;

Oh - there's also:

www.locomotives.com.pl/

go to freight locomotives, read the TY3 and maybe also the TY2 links there.

Happy reading;

JohnS.

P.m. me with an e-mail address and I'll scan and send a drawing of a 52. It will have to be in 4 parts at a scale of 30.1 : 1 approx.

Thanks Eightpot, I have sent the email as you suggested.
Cheers,

Arch,

This guy is building one in 1.5” scale it might be worth asking him what drawings he has.
