Scale Train Drawings

Title Image

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

With a couple more RSD-12 drawings, I've reached my goal of 250 drawings for 2023. I'm hoping to continue adding more ALCO drawings in the remainder of the year.

2023-11-20

In one of the more noteworthy omissions from the drawings, in 23 years I have never drawn a 6-axle ALCO RSD-series locomotive in any scale. That changed today with the arrival of the RSD-12 in 1:18.

The first step started a week ago with the making of ALCO Tri-mount trucks. This was time-consuming but straightforward as I had several excellent ALCO mechanical diagrams to work from. The second step was to stretch the frame and hood on an existing RS-11 drawing - also straightforward since most of the other dimensions are the same.

The third step involved searching and sifting through hundreds of RSD-12 and RSD-15 photos to try to decipher the finer underframe details - which was the most time-consuming part. Unlike for previous ALCO models I've drawn, I don't have my own photos or direct measurements of an RSD-12.

Acknowledgements

My drawings would not be possible without the extensive contributions from many site viewers sharing photos, diagrams, phase details or corrections, and I am very belatedly publicly sharing my gratitude to those who have helped. (If you've sent me stuff and you're not on the list, please remind me!)

A special thank-you to
