UP auxiliary tender

I am looking for drawings of the auxiliary tender used in the excursion programs of UP.
Everything I found are two detaile pictures, but no dimensions.
Some idea?

Thanks ALM

Look for drawings of UP gas turbines. They are the same tenders.

Thanks for helping. I will try again.
I’m now working starting from the 9000 tender, but the dimensions remain not very clear.

Ciao ALM

You might want to check the magazine index. I can’t really imagine that that unit hasn’t been featured at least once over the years. Then the trick is to find a copy of the magazine.

Thanks for all suggestions.
I checked the index and, yes, there’s at least a contribution once a year about the UP turbines.
My problem, now, is to understand if these reports, like that of Feb 1954, comprehend the tender drawing or a good lateral picture…and the first library with these data is at least 6000 km away.

Thanks again and bye ALM

Andrea,
I would like to suggest that you Email Brent Lambert at the NMRA’s Kalmbach Memorial Library:
http://www.nmra.org/library/
List the articles in which you are interested, advise him that you are only interested in dimensioned drawings, or lateral photos suitable for scaling. Request an estimate, and, if necessary, money conversion requirements. I think you will find the price for photocopies is reasonable, even for non-members.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, Bob. I’ll follow that path.
