Does anyone know of any way, apart from scratch building, of modellling a sleet loco in 'OO' scale? I'm thinking of the tube size ones that were converted from old tube motor coaches one of which is preserved at Acton (ESL107 from memory). I have this thing about trying to model departmental stock!

A long shot I know but does anyone out there have a line drawing of one. Failing that, a line drawing of one of the Central Line DMs that they were converted from. Thanks.

The 1903 stock was: Length per car 45' 6"
Width 8' 6"
if that helps! Remember, there were 4 sets of bogies per car-enjoy!

I have a couple of theories on how to solve the four bogie problem. Knowing my luck niether will work. For that reason I intend to build the chassis before the body! All I need are the dimensions to go on and I can risk serious harm to my left index finger from scalpel blades again!  |

Well, you'll need to scratch build the chasis and use standard stock motor bogies, with standard stock bogies in the middle for de-icing.

Despite the complexity of the chassis I still think that getting the cab roof profile will be the difficult bit! Can't do anything without measurements though so I live i hope. Thanks.
