Hello,

I have some plans for building a UP version from the 1980s. I forget if they are for 50 foot or 60 foot cars though.

Unfortunatly my scanner is not operating correctly at the moemnt. But when I get it fixed I would be more than happy to get a copy to you

Hey Challenger, If it's not to much trouble when you get your scanner working I could go for a set of those plans myself!

OK can do.

Though I have no Idea when that will be. Looking at the problem, it looks like there is something mechanicly wrong with the scanner. and I have no Idea where in Wyoming I can take it to get it fixed.

If push comes to shove, Iguess I can dig out the old drafting board lol

I take it these days of CAD, the old time honerd practicing has become rare.

Would you like the pencil shavings to?

James, I've been known to use a pencil myself a time or two. I learned mechanical drafting back when thats all we had to use. Even before calculators!!

I learned it becasue this was back before my family could afford a computer and therefor a cad program to use on it.

I still do it to keep my skills in practice. Im hendging my bets and will be able to make blue prints after the WWIII scenero and all the computers are useless.
