Hi,

I about to start on a Metro designed by Martin Evans. The drawings I have do not detail anything on the braking system. Does anyone details for this. Also could anyone let me know of any known errors in the drawings

thanks Phil

Hello.

In response to your query re the Metro locomotive brake system.

The brake parts are on sheet 2 of the plans, bottom half of the drawing. If you definitely don’t have them on your set, I can scan the various bits and send them on to you via email.

With respect to known errors / build issues, sorry I cannot help with this.

Alan.

Hi Alan, I have bought a new set of drawings. The ones I had must been first off the press before oversights were added. As you say on sheet 2 the brake details are there. I don’t suppose anyone out there has a copy of the build articles the would willing to share ?
