Tinkerbell pic request

Does anyone have a large ( at least 1MB) photo of a cabless Tinkerbell they could upload or send me please?

Ideally something like the Joe Nemeth machine. The caveat is I really need it to be exactly side on and with a driver on board.

Reason? Until my premium bonds come up I'm not terrible likely (as in: no chance) to have the real thing but a photo as described would help develop thoughts for a live steam model version in 1/6 scale for 32mm gauge track.

Thanks in advance.

Chris, have you flicked through the station road archive? They've had their fair share through their doors and the usually include lots of different views of each loco and decent sized pics at that! If you can't find the detail you're after on one, then you will on another....
I look forward to seeing the loco under construction, ;)

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I had already worked my way through the links suggested, as well as a good Google or two, before putting the post in here, without getting to even 80% of what I am looking for. Peter Beevers has kindly sent me a spot on 2.4MB side on view of his new loco (thanks Peter) but a pic with driver too is still my holy grail.

cheers

I have a photo of my loco with driver sat in although it is an extended tinkerbell and has a semi open cab

Trains go into tunnels and come out but locos can go in sheds and never come out

Chris,

Try this.

The loco is a standard Tinkerbell length with the driver sitting on a raised seat.

Regards

Paul

PM me if you need dimensions as I have a full set of Tinkerbell drawings.

I have found this interesting specification which may be of some interest.
