Hello
 
For a long time I have been hunting for a set of drawings for a traction engine waggon and a living van, does anyone have any drawings or know where I can find a set i could use.
 
alternitavly does anyone have a copy of GFA Gilberts Book "Burrell Style" or know where I can obtain a copy as I belive there is a couple of drawings in the book that might be of help
