Scale Train Drawings

Welcome to the Trainiax drawings page! This is a collection of drawings that I have been working on since late 2000.

Updates

2013-05-14

The first ALCO/MLW 1:18 drawings have been completed! First started at the end of March, the 1:18 MLW M-636 drawings added today may be the most dimensionally accurate drawings to date. Why? Because on March 22, I took a whole slew of measurements from CP 4723, an MLW M-636 on display in Farnham, QC - the first locomotive I have measured directly. I have drawn the version represented by 4723 (a late-model M-636 as modified) but will be adding other M-line variations.

For these and other locomotive measurements, see the Locomotive Dimensions page.

About the Drawings

• All of my drawings, painted or undecorated, are of real locomotives and rolling stock.
• All of my completed drawings are online, and they exist only as they appear here; I have no higher-resolution or vector versions.
• Contributed drawings from previous years (2006 and earlier) are online, but I no longer post new contributions.
• I do take requests for new drawings.  I can never guarantee their completion, but I try to fill them out regularly.
