Hello --- I'm a librarian new to the forum that is seeking some answers for a professor and figured if anyone knew if they existed this group would.
He was interested in passenger coaches for a student design project. The students were looking at the interiors of passenger rail cars. He was looking for scale / measured drawings of passenger railroad coaches. It does not need to be the latest models, but somewhere within the last few decades. It can be from anywhere in the world - US, Japan, Europe. He was hoping to find an overall plan view of a typical car, a cross-section, and ideally an exterior elevation to show windows & door configurations (all with dimensions. Metric is fine).
I've discovered drawings for several old cars but nothing within the last few decades. The closest to what he wanted that I could find was this:
Train Parameters Study Part 1 - Development of Concept and Design Criteria
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/requ...02 P03 Report Part 1.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1
I'm wondering if they are not widely published because of proprietary information (or security?). Anyways, I was hoping someone here could direct me to some resources. We are open to internet or books that may also contain this information if you can supply titles.
Thank you in advance.
