Can anyone tell me where I can find technical drawings and dimensions for a class 455/7? I'm having a go at building one.

Any help is greatly appreciated :D

Regards

Tom

Then you can build a Class 457 ;)

You'll also need the technical info for a 508 trailer.

But if you do make a 455/7 then you can convert it into a 455/9 by replacing the 508 trailer with a 455 trailer

Thanks for the support guys, it's appreciated :D

But I need to find out dimensions for the 455, because I can't tell just looking at photos.

Again, your support is appreciated, and any more info is appreciated as well :D :D

Tom

Would it be worth emailing South West trains and see if they have any information?

(Not my picture)

That's because it's a Cl. 455/7 not a Cl. 457.

When i finish this model, then a 210 would be possible. (just a change to the first cars textures and roof!)
