Who uses CAD, and what is a good program to learn about the subject. Any thoughts on best 'free' program eg Deltadad, cadvance? The latter was a $1900 prog ,...
David, I use Turbocad. You can pick up brand new copies of older versions for very little on ebay and for standard 2D work the older versions are fine. Make ...
Hi David, I use AutoCad2000, mainly because I bought it s/h some years ago from some-one who had upgraded. Not easy to learn (and costs an arm and a leg!!) but...
Hi David - If you want 2D you might like SolidEdge: http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/products/velocity/solidedge/free2d/index.shtml If you want 3D...
David, As an architect I've used AutoCad for many years beginning with R10 (Release 10 - 1988'ish.) and Cad has become one of my most useful tools in model...
David, I also use Autocad. Dabbled with it at work about 18 years ago and chose it because it is still the industry standard system. I enrolled on a one-year...
David, I have been using Autocad LT 2000 to prepare the drawings for the Crab. Never having used CAD before, I taught myself how to use the programme 7 years...
In talking with new users over the years, the most difficult thing to grasp with Autocad seems to be all the things which are going on at once while working,...
I generally use 'Continuous' at weight 0.5mm for visible detail, 'Hidden 2' at weight 0.25mm for hidden detail and 'center 2' at weight 0,25mm for centrelines....
I have and use AutoCad 2000 and TurboCad V9. I started with an early version of TurboCad and found it fairly easy to use, but as I had to work in AutoCad at...
Like Keith, I use printed out templates all the time for marking out frames, platework, etc, usually stuck on with thin double sided tape. It saves an awful...
... Keith and John, I suppose I was thinking of those who've never used a Cad program and imagined that to them there would be some amazing commands. I don't...
... you don't have to do this :-) you can keep your colours and when it comes to printing, you go into: "plot device" "plot style table" and select ...
perhaps some one can help me i am looking for drawings for a bullied pacific rebuilt 4-6-2 any od drawings would help and in any condition torn or marked or...
Hi Charles, So far as I am aware no-one has published a design for the rebuilt Merchant Navy in 2½" gauge although some-one else may be able to say otherwise....

hallo john thanks for returning so quickly appreciated i had thought it might be the case drawings are very difficult to source for the merchant navy class...
Hi there All, There a design for a 2.5" gauge bullied pacific on the market, though not maybe quite what you were after. If one goes to the web page for the...

Hi again Charles, I have got all the ME's with the Ariel articles so if there is any information that you need I can probably scan the relevant drawings (e.g....
hallo john that's the best Christmas present one could wish for if it not too much trouble i could well use the information mistakes and all little things...
... Hi Charles, No problem, I'll see what I can sort out over Xmas. Don't worry about payment - I do this for enjoyment! What I have got already scanned is a...
From reading his articles, all of Keiths published designs have minor and serious errors. I'd never build a design as it was being serialised unless I knew the...
hallo john Charles returning that sounds excellent don't worry about the size i will retrieve it one way or another construction photo's would be excellent i...
Hi Simon, Yes, I agree with you there. I wouldn't dream of publishing a design without building it first but all the 'greats' such as Keith, Martin Evans etc....
Hi All Interesting that John should comment about thinking of building a Bulldog in 2.5" gauge as I have just acquired a rolling chassis for just such a model...
The CITY is one of my favorites. Who is producing the drawings? I am not an active builder in 2.5"ga myself but have just been approached to build a boiler...
John, I believe they came to trust their ability to produce a relatively error and foul-free design right off the board. I wouldn't go so far as to call it...
Hi Harry, Re Elaine - the loco was named after Don's daughter. I get the impression that the design was not all that popular and I've yet to see one in the...
