A Question

[artme]

I did a bit of a search on the net for steam locomotive plans and found almost nothing.

I also searched for Airfix model to use like Keith has done. No result.

Where can one get such plans or even plastic models????

I got my 1804 locomotive from Tates Toys in Geelong West

Hearnes Hobbies in Melbourne have plastic kits

I got my Stephensons Rocket from the UK on eBay.

If you google what you want, you will probably find a kit. I googled "Stephenson's Rocket Model kit".

The 1804 locomotive kit was just on Tates shelves.

it also depends on which loco plans you want. Museums are another source of information, when I was building model boats I could get plans from the Greenwich Maritime Museum so depending on which country the loco was built will dictate where to start.

Artme,

Google Revell 02158. You can get a kit with 2 locos for $74. It wold be a big build though. 2 German Steam locomotives.

Good luck

Libraries are not a bad place to start. A quick relatively crude search on the NSW State Library catalogue returned 5610 possibles.

There are some great wood models/toys in books from the US.

maybe check out some of these plans http://www.strombecksundesigns.com/Toys.htm
