I've dug out the only drawing. It's 3 foot by 4 foot and gone all brown ???? Copying it would be a nightmare.
There is also the build instructions (place part A on part B type) but these are not really helpful if you are designing shapes.
I went through my build blog and all the information you should need is there so have a go. It's quite a simple construction but, if there is any particular section you're not clear about then please ask and we'll do our best to advise.
Hope this helps

Thanks for looking anyway. As you can see below it looks like I may have to do without.
Thanks again

now c'mon Tailuk...get those grey cells going, get the juices flowing and a bit o' scratch building formulated..........how hard can it be to make two boxes and a flying bridge top for your Talacre to fit the hole that's already in the deck.......you don't need plans for that................the height of the main superstructure would be around 6'6" high with the wheel house box similar and the flying bridge half that height............. and the hatch to fit with a sloping front enf that the winch goes on.......haven't seen plans for mine for donkey's years but remember that much.
neil.
I've got that much! The size of the deck openings give a idea of the size of the bits require I can gauge the height of the superstructure from pics of other peoples models and the drawings in Waine's "Steam Coasters and Short Sea Traders" but I dislike being vague. I'd like a drawing if I can get it but I'm not lost without it. It's possible to estimate door and port positions from the other Talacres out there but don't forget that Caldercraft got the bridge the wrong way round so, in fact, a drawing may not do me much good anyway. I'm really just covering all the bases.
I've started work on the model and stripped out the old gear a Futabi servo and Rx an Electronize Speed controller and something I believe is a homemade BEC (It has "BEC, Pat Pending" written on it).
The offending bridge was already loose and I removed the plastic Prieser figures that were making the deck look untidy.
I going to fit a new SLA battery so I've got to check the ballasting (about 3 lbs of lead.) It's still a lot of work but I hope to have it on the water in a couple of weeks.
