Hey guys:
This winter I found myself struck by the railfan bug. And it has manifested in a deep immersion into n-scale modeling. So now I'm embarking on an effort to build a side platform underground metro station complete with track occupancy detection to trigger platform lights, among other nerdy things.
But also this: I'd like to have super realistic rolling stock. After a ton of Googling, I've found exactly two sources for rolling stock (1000 and 7000) on a 3d printing website. The 7000 isn't dimensionally accurate, and the 1000 doesn't include the underbody or truck detail. So I'm thinking about building and printing my own 3D model. I like the look of the 1000 series and so that's the one I'm focusing on for now.
The problem is that I can't find any pictures of the side of the car. At least not any at a high enough resolution for me to work with. Most pictures of the cars were taken from station platforms, which obviously doesn't help very much. So: Does anybody have some high(er) resolution side view pictures they'd be willing to share? I'd be very, very appreciative for any assistance.
As an aside, I read somewhere on this forum (though now I cannot find) where someone mentioned the existence of old CAD drawings. Am I making this up? Does anybody know where I might find these? If they really exist.
