Alright, let me explain.

If you've ever heard of the 1980's show TUGS, you'll know the character "Puffa"
I highly recommend checking it out, the modelwork is amazing for it's time!

Puffa is a german BR 80 0-6-0 Tank engine that has American modifications.
I know there are models of the BR 80 available, but i had originally gotten a PIKO BR 80 off eBay for like, $4 total, (Idk what they were thinking) but I didn't like how it was an 0-4-0, and I had a spare old Bmann 0-6-0, and then the idea began. The project is going quite well, but I would like some scale drawings to make sure I'm doing it right. If anybody could make some for me, that would be really awesome!

Puffa from the show:


The BR 80


Thanks!

yeah that was out before Theodore Tugboat was even thought of

the Tugs creators were the same ones who did Thomas & Friends show!

there are videos on where the boats are now on YT
& they are still looking for the props!

Yes! That's the one! TUGS is loads better than Theodore, IMO, And yes, David Mitton worked on TTTE as well! Poor Top Hat and Grampus are still missing But the Star Tugs Trust has done an excellent job of restoring the models they have!

So, nobody knows how to make scale drawings for a BR80 for HO scale?

I really want to finish this project!
