Having almost completed design work on G Scale running gear for an RF16 Baldwin Shark kit. I am now ready to tackle a G Scale EMU.
The design work for the traction motor/gearboxes, motor drive and sound system is completed, but I have found that I need a detailed engineering drawing of the 860 mm (2' 9") web-spoked bogie wheels as used by many JNR Multiple Unit types.
I have a diemaker in mind, but he requires detailed dimensions of the internal webbing/bracing on these particular wheelsets as used on this motor/trailer bogie design for the Rapi:t Nankai 50000 series (南海50000系) which use SS137 Motor Bogies and SS037 Trailer Bogies. Pics as below
If anybody can direct me to sources of drawings for the 50000 series bogies, bodyshell, graphics, led destination panel and general artwork I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks in advance
Robert
