Young friend who is a prodigious 3D printer wishes to build a model MacIntosh Seymour Diesel prime mover model in scale. I've found a few photos, but nothing with the numbers he requires. PDF files would be fine.

If your tourist road or museum has scanned drawings, copies would be most appreciated.

PM me if you wish.

You might want to check eBay first, 539 resin models are already available in N, HO and O scales.

His purpose is to create a moving model. It's not intended to be plastic block on a flatcar. I had checked the usual places but came up short. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
