merry-go-round coal wagons

[oilcanParticipant @oilcan]

As the weather gets colder and my shed time diminishes, I have a yen to spend the winter trying to design a HAA merry-go-round coal hopper in 3D and hopefully be able to print a G1 version. I bought a broken 00 gauge HAA from Ebay but it is difficult to measure the angles etc. Could someone point me in the right direction as to where I could get a general arrangement drawing for one?

Thanks in advance

From description, this looks like it may assist?

Merry-Go-Round on the Rails, David Monk-Steel.

May also be worth posting your question on RM Web?  Granted aimed at a smaller scale than your intention, but you may be able to scale-up from a 4mm/1ft drawing that has appeared in a magazine or similar.   The guys on that forum are very knowledgeable….
