A message from Mike Dreiling, Superintendant Of Plans
Some of the information on the plans may change in the future, as I am digitizing, reviewing and updating many of the plans. In some cases, three page, 1” scale plans are being reduced to a more manageable single page plan in 1/2” scale. In other cases duplicate or near duplicate plans are being combined. In all cases, maximum effort is being made to retain existing details and to improve the quality of the plan. Many of these plans were drawn as early as the 1930s and have since been traced to mimeograph masters and then copies made from these masters were later reproduced on a modern copy machine. During this evolution some detail has been lost and drawing proportions have been compromised. In some cases the drawing must be completely redrawn using the information available. Also be aware that for many of the plans, especially the early ones, there is only one side of the wagon, and therefore they are not necessarily good sources for building an exact detailed model.
Please review the list and feel free to write or email me at mdreiling@macnexus.org with any questions concerning specific plans. When you order, I will attempt to ship the plans as soon as I can find time to print them. In a effort to provide prompt service and provide equal assess to all members, the CMB Board has approved my request that orders be limited to no more than 45 pages. Your cooperation in keeping the orders to a manageable level is greatly appreciated. |
