British Rail 0-6-0 Class 4 Shunter drawings

Post by Glenn Brooks »

Hello All,

Anyone know where i might acquire a set of drawings for a British Rail 0-6-0 Class 4 shunter ?

I am interested in building one of these and looking for a drawing or drawings I can study to work out some,details on how to model this Loco.

The Loco looks likes this:

E8CB7F87-C949-4A75-9BAF-49FDD872F6A1.jpeg

And the model in 1.5” scale looks like this:

Thanks much for any leads you might be able to offer.

Maybe between this and buying a HO scale model to work from, you could get there if you can't find prints?

I use a program called 'Scale Print' for stuff like this. You plug in a dimension, and it will print it to any scale you need. $20. http://raildriver.com/products/cycloped ... .print.php

That's like the blue one in the picture, this guy must have re-gauged it to 7-1/2", or were you at a 7-1/4" track?
You could see if they will sell you drawings.

Thanks guys, That’s exactly the loco I was looking for. And the print driver software looks very interesting also. I’ll order it.

Ryan, I’m pretty sure the Victoria model engineering club track is 7 1/2 inch. Their locomotive there was rebuilt by a couple of current numbers several years ago -it was scratch build originally as I remember from the conversation. But it is certainly very similar to the Maxitrack model. thanks much for finding it.
