EasternO Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Hello, I'd like to obtain accurate dimensioned and profile drawings of BR Mk1 coach bodies and early DMUs please. I'm learning CAD for a project so thought these would be an ideal candidate. I did hear of a book mentioned but unfortunately I can't remember where I saw the name and search terms don't bring any reminders up. Any help would be gratefully received and I'm sure there are resources out there but I'm not looking properly. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted January 30 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30 The Barrowmore model railway group have kindly uploaded the BR diagram books Barrowmore Model Railway Group (BMRG) (barrowmoremrg.co.uk) Book 200 coaching stock is the one you want. Or Parkin - Mark 1 Coaches may be the book you are thinking of 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Parkin is the definitive book of Mk 1 coaches. I don't know if it's still in print, but I'm sure you'll be able to find one second hand easiliy enough. There's several books on "first generation" or "modernisation era" DMUs, mostly pictorial. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHC Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) I bought a copy of Parkin recently as I need the dimensions for my cad design of DEMUs. Very helpful as there are also the dimensions of the trussing as well. Keith Edited January 30 by KeithHC Finger trouble 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only read your first post but I'll read the rest. Much obliged 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted January 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30 (edited) The Science & Society Picture Library has official drawings of Mk1 coaches (or 'Standard' coach, as this is how they were initially referred to): Link to search page (A more general 'coach' search may bring up more items?) I haven't looked into it in depth but presumably images can be purchased for personal use. It mentions small versions of the images can be downloaded directly from the screen but I don't know if the detail/text would be readable on these.
