Interesting, most of us know the name but probably nothing of the man. I recently sold all my OO stuff to concentrate on model engineering. I would like to bet that most of us have something related to him in our collections.

I have finished the rebuild of my 5" 040 recently that i bought derelict, and been looking for a set of plans to make a waggon to go with it that i can use for water, coal etc. I thought about Hornby and wondered if i could scale up one of there coal waggons?

I have seen the Hewson stuff but prefer to produce my own drawings in 3d.

If anyone knows of anything that might help i would appreciate it.

Sadly it isn't an interactive one

You can find all the old doodles from Michael's link.

Wikipedia article has a nice extract from Hornby's patent showing a simple rail crane and set of points from what is recognisably unmistakably Meccano.
