Any of y'all have or know where I can get a set of plans for a Civil War era 20' flatbed railroad car? I'm willing to pay for copying, buy my own, or steal a set if I knew where to get them.
I'm planning to build a Civil War rail gun from a very cool picture I found on the web. I have the tube and carriage, and have a good idea for the casement, but need plans for the car itself. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
I can do you one better maybe. Got a commission casting job today at the LI show of some what appear to be 54mm Railroad flat cars for an ACW era train. Since I have the masters and the molds will be in my possession I can cast them and let you have a set of the test runs. They look to be the right size flat cars. Wheels, Trucks, frame and and Rail sections. Once I get the molds made up I'll send you pix of the pieces.
