I'm looking for scale drawings and references for track tamping machines operated on the british railway system. I don't have an extensive range of magazine back issues as I've only recently returned to the hobby, so I would be especially grateful to anyone who can offer scanned images, or has relevant magazines available for sale. Cheers, Bill Davies.

Enter: rail tamper or: plasser tamper in the first box.

That turns up plenty of photos and a few references, no actual online plans though. There is a reference to drawings for building a model in N-gauge in Railway Modeller, September 1991. Is there a kind soul out there who would be willing and able to scan and send me a copy of this article? Or otherwise someone selling a copy of the magazine? Any help greatly appreciated, Cheers, Bill.
I have that article. Experience suggests that a photo-copy to your snail-mail address is the best way. BTW there are 6 other references on my database on my web-site, if you check them out I can do those too. Please reply off-group
