Although these are actually of a Nyasaland Rlys 45 ton crane on 3'6" gauge I would expect many of the detail drawings to be typical.

To print them involves the cost of an A2 print - say £6.

To scan them would be to have to 'cut' them in to two parts.

Hi

This is Cem.
I am living in Turquie.
I would like to have these projects very much.
Do you have also any drawings for 200 ton capacity?

Kind regards

Post subject:  Re: Cowans Sheldon drawings

I have today just registered with the forum in the hope that someone can help with a General Arrangment drawing for a Cowan Sheldon 75t breakdown crane. I am a retired project engineer who now spends his time making model railway locos & equipment in 10mm scale.

My latest completed project is a Class 47 diesel electric loco, powered by a model aircraft engine, driving a generator to provide power to 6 motors as per full size. This can be seen on proving trials, albeit unpainted, in the video section of our model club website http://www.birminghamsme.com

The particular model of crane that I am interested in is the one of diesel hydraulic models in the range ADRC 96710-15 manufactured in 1977, which I believe are currently owned by Network Rail and it would be my intention to make it a fully working model by radio control. This would give the Class 47 something to pull, with perhaps the ultimate aim to complete a typical breakdown train.

The association Secretary David Withers has recommended that I make this request in the hope that someone out there can help. He tells me that the nearest actual crane to me is at Bescot West Midlands and I wonder whether it is possible to gain access, for taking photographs and measurements etc.

Any help would be much appreciated

Best regards - Ken Toone

Ken, Bescot is a DB Schenker depot, whose staff crew the Breakdown Train. Whilst Network Rail actually own the hardware, your first port of call to arrange an official visit is here -
http://www.rail.dbschenker.co.uk/press/contact.htm

They will then put you in contact with the local staff where appropriate.

Clark Chapman retained drawings of post 1960s cranes and there is little or nothing in Cumbria Records ( CASCAT ).
A request to CC Gateshead might produce a useful respose?
I have contacted a couple of recent BR retirees who may have something more than the BR diagram.

Cem,

Which; and I assume you mean a Cowans Sheldon 200 tonner; do you refer to?

Chris

Post subject:  Re: Cowans Sheldon drawings

Many thanks Chris & Rob for the information. I have e-mailed both DB Schenker & Clark Chapman and await their response.
Have also had a reply from Cumbria Records, as you say, they have nothing re the type I am considering, but do have a GA drawing of the 1963 Diesel version (their record card No 20918)

Regards Ken.

I have scanned the CARKND pages from a BRB diagram book.
Send me an email at chriscapewell@googlemail.com and I will forward two pages.

Hi Chris,

Sorry, I was kind of hopeless, I was not checking for answer, since it has been some time after your first post.

Yes I was Referring Cowans Sheldon 200 tonner.
But, any Cowans breakdown crane with "closer date" would be enough for me.
The dwgs. listed above would be also OK. if I do not have any other chance.

I will be very happy if you could help me.
Thanks again,

M. Cem OZKAN.

Its been a bit quiet for the last few months, as my requests to both DB Schenker and Clarke Chapman fell on deaf ears.
You will recall that I am interested in constructing a Gauge 1 (10mm Scale) working model of a 1977 75t crane in the series ADRC96710-15, Order Nos 31145-50
My interest in the project has recently been reawakened by the publishing of Vol 2 of Peter Tatlow's book, in which there is a wealth of information and a good general arrangement drawing of my chosen subject. I think perhaps I now have sufficient information to make a start, but there are still many details missing which really can only be answered by viewing the actual crane.
I understand that there are still 4 left in various parts of the country, so is there any way in which I can get to see one of these cranes? to take photographs etc.
I am located in the West Midlands, so obviously Bescot would be good place to start, although I have recently been told that this one is due to move soon.
Grateful thanks must go to the members who have responded to my previous requests and I look forward completing my research.

Many thanks.
