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

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

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

Regards

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!)
