Here is the link to all 7 of my drawings for Subscriber downloads!

I was not notified that they (Garden Railways Magazine) had actually used my attempt at doing rolling stock drawings. This is from a 1945 MR Magazine article; July I believe; and the short style caboose is called a Bobber. I faked the chassis system as I could not find any record drawings of the under-structure and wheel gang/suspension. So I went from photos. Nonetheless, it was a real challenge as I only had 2 dimensions to go from before doing actual scaled working drawings that could be reproduced and used by the Garden Railway hobbyist or enthusiast; and you have to be enthusiastic and patient to do one of these let alone anything more intricate.

Comments appreciated as always although I will do them because I am driven. If you have any structures you would like me to draw so you can use them as standalone buildings in a Garden setting; a structure for a Christmas display or for just simple displaying, please Facebook me or leave a site comment.

Thank you and have a Happy New Year!

Submittal #7. Galena Fire Department circa 1900 structure. Took a bit to get it right from the MR October 1960 article. Once the magazine article was imported (drawing), it didn't scale out according to the submitter's scale. With a bit of tweaking to keep the basic measurement integrity, it took about 4 hours to render the final elevations. Comments appreciated.
