Looking for Class 37 Drawing for a model

[csinc]

Hello,

I want to build a Class 37 model in Gauge 1 and I am looking for a general drawing with the dimensions. Could someone point we toward a website or book that might have one? I have not had much luck searching in Google.

Thank you for your help!

Hello Adam

A Gauge 1 "Tractor". What's not to love!

I have found these dimensional drawings via a quick Internet image search.
Overall height: 12' 9" (3.89m) from rail.
Overall width: 8' 10.5" (2.71m).

If I find the end profile showing dimensions, I'll post here too.

The National Railway Museum's Archives, or Gauge 1 Society, might have - or could point you to - dimensional drawings?

About 40 years ago, OPC (I think) published a series of books entitled Class xx In Profile aand, off the top of my head, each book had a line drawing of loco side and end profiles. I can't recall, though, if dimensions were on those drawings.

The Barrowmore Model Rail Group hosts scans of several British Rail diagram books, including drawings/dimensions of locomotives, multiple units, coaching stock and non-passenger carrying stock etc

One of the locomotives ones might prove helpful.

Thank you very much everyone!

An alternative approach. Acquire a cheap body in another scale and use it as a 3D reference, selling it on when you’re finished.

Tower models are currently selling Heljan’s O gauge split box body for £50 but I’m not convinced about the horizontal curvature across the windscreen panels.

Yes, having got one myself and although it is a lovely model, to my eyes there is something just slightly amiss about the nose/windscreen area.
