Jesse,
Somebody with a digital camera will have to do the necessary at
the Fosse !
7½ ....now all I need is larger machinery, a larger workspace, lifting gear,
oh, and a win on the lottery !
I am currently drawing the tender for a loco in Gauge 1 (10mm - 1ft) using a
photocopy of a works drawing at 1½ inches to the foot. I did get the
photocopy reduced by 50% to make it more manageable to spread out on the
table, but found that many of the written dimensions were difficult to read.
At 1½ inches to the foot, the drawing is spot on for 1:8, i.e. 7¼/7½.....and
the bits and pieces look easier to accomplish in that size ! No, no,
no....and yet?....
Meanwhile, there is a room to hoover and an apple crumble to scratchbuild at
12inches to the foot.
Best wishes,
Jem
