I'd like to build a display model of the Tom Thumb engine. The scale isn't important and it doesn't need to rum. Does anyone know of any plans for it?

Metal? Plastic? Wood? I've got a working HO model from Bachmann. A Thom Thumb, a John Bull and one other pre 1840 train.

Materials

I work mostly in wood but do have some capacity for metal and plastic, hand turning, etc.

Since it's to be a display I'd like to build it in a large scale, about 1:24 or so. I can probably change the scale of an existing plan or draw one but the photos I've found on the net are too fuzzy to use.

The engine is at the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Museum. They have a resource library.Perhaps you could contact them.
Here is the site It is seen on the virtual tour.Road Trip?
