Blueprints/ measurements?

[GossenGarrat]

I'm making D&RGW #50 (formerly Sumpter Valley #101 and a Davenport NG 30t gas/mech switcher) and Georgia Pacific #9 (the 2-6-2ST used in the movie "The Ring of Fire"). Does anyone know where to find blue prints or measurements of the two or similar locomotives?

A question: couldn't you just reskin the 36in davenports that are on the DLS?

[GossenGarrat]

If I could figure out how to do that...

I tried once, forgot what I did with the aftermath. Its not that hard to do, its just tedious work to get things to look the same.

I'll look around and see if I cant find out how to reskin, but still looking for GP #9

found out how to reskin, but cant get the reskinners template off the DLS

I would suggest using a model that has color on it, mainly the black or the yellow model, less work that would need to be done on finding where the right color goes.

I've got all the colored one, but I noticed that the ones on the DLS are different than D&RGW #50.

This is #50 in the 50's


and this is the one on the DLS



and here is #50 2yrs ago after restoration

Now, if only measurements can be found.....

[GossenGarrat]

That's what Im trying to get.

I couldn't find any, but I did finds a couple more pictures.
This one's from Don's Depot.

And there are some at http://www.drgw.net/gallery/DRGW50NG

A standard Plymouth locomotive is about 19 feet long and around 10 feet high. If you have a good profile view you could use those as a guide, since the Davenport is probably about the same size.

Thanks, I'll experiment with those measurements until I can find something exact to #50. what about width?
