With respect, you've missed my 2 points there though a scribing-block is indeed more useful than the strange contraption Alibre uses as an exercise.

No You have missed the point.

MEW used a scribing block as a simple example to model. If you eventually find your way to the Mintronics site you will find an additional manual for about £11.50 which is a full length version of what was in the mag but with full size images not the much reduced ones in the mag. This manual if free to those who took up the MEW extended trial.

There are several forum members who having completed drawing the scribing block then went on to working through the crank/universal joint exercise and with a bit of help from the forum got it all to work. This is more advanced so won't help you with the basics.

Out of interest was your original trial of Alibre the extended 6mth MEW one or just the two weeks off the net, you would have needed a copy of the magazine to know the correct URL for the extended offer.

have you got a fag packet sketch or extract from what info you do have of this waggon, I'm sure one of us would draw it up in cad to point you in the right direction, seem to remember asking this of you a few nonths ago what the same issues were discussed but nothing forthcoming
