GE 70 tonner drawings

General Discussion
#1

All,

I’m new to larger scale railroading and am planning my first scratchbuild; a GE 70 tonner.

I’m curious if anyone can point me to a source for blueprints and/or detailed dimensional drawings.

Thanks!

Welcome aboard.

I just got a Bachmann centercab that I’m backdating to the 1930s. I haven’t found any pictures yet for my project but I’ll keep watch for drawings.

Gary, welcome. If your coming from one of those smaller scales, you’ll love the big stuff. especially if your eyes are growing as old as some of us. Sorry no help on the 70 tonner.
