Looking for good source drawings for the Crosley class high speed transport.
I've found some pretty low detail ones online, and some with bad coloration... anyone know where I can find something a bit better than this:

I don't have anything on the Crosley class APDs, but I did find this linedrawing of the Rudderow class DE, the class that served as the base for the Crosley.

And this enormous one[/IMG] as well

Scratch that, I found a linedrawing of the conversion.

And a perspective view to make it easier to interpret.
Not so big file

Well, I've drawn the Rudderow class and I'm about half-way through its conversion - the Crosley class. If you really want to take over PM me.

I'm sorry, WhyMe... I didn't see a claim and thought it was open.
No way I can compete with your work.

I'll just look elsewhere, I guess.

Yes, I think I have this one, courtesy of graham, which he sent me on disc. If that bonzer bloke hasn't posted it soon I'll dig it out when home.
