开云体育Colin, ? I think you'll find a major difference between a drawing of a loco even in CAD and what is needed for an etched kit. The 7mm Narrow Gauge Association has books of drawings but most predate home CAD systems and were probably done originally by someone to scratch build a model. A lot of the ones published in NG&IRMR are proper works drawings. Both sources need treating with care, in the former case one doesn't know how much information the draughtsman had and in the latter you need to watch what was actually built as opposed to what was designed. All of course, thanks to someone's, efforts far better than nothing at all. ? Nothing like publishing anything for some further information to crawl out of the woodwork and make a fool of you. ?

I might be wrong in thinking this, but for me an 014 loco kit will need to have weight, I would guess that if I had a half decent computer and the Auto Cad programme I would have a go at producing 7mm drawings to make up brass etched kits and to also make the masters for the 3D Cad?castings as well. ? I think 014 has a lot going for it, and if I had the space then I would consider building a model in this size, One thing which I am surprised with and that is?the lack of?narrow gauge loco and rolling stock?Cad drawings which are available (you watch, some one will come on here now and tell me where I can find them), but why stop there??as you are half way to getting an etch of that item done. ? May be it is just me getting older and trying to cope with all this new technology. ? ? Regards ? Colin ? ???????
