WW2 German Drasine scale drawings
« on: May 31, 2009, 08:07:06 PM »
I have searched everywhere to no avail.  Does anyone know where I could access some scale drawings of the German SP Draisines from WW2?
thanks

I may have some but will have to check. I got hold of a shed load when I did my armoured train but whether that is amongst them I do not know. Should get chance to look tomorrow.

Svennn, thank you very much for taking a look.  Your help is much appreciated.  I'd be quite intereseted in where you were able to acquire them.

Looks very similar but the one I have is a "Steyer". Is that the same thing?

Maybe   :)

Found on the net:  There seems to be some confusion regarding the name of these vehicles. It is an s.SP heavy railcar, or Schwerer SchienenPanzer (Literally "Heavy Rail Tank"). It has been referred to as a Draisine (which means hand trolley), or a PanzerSpähwagen (Tank reconnaissance car). While PanzerSpähwagen may seem appropriate, the name is commonly associated with Armored Cars (Sdkfz. 222, Sdkfz. 223, Sdkfz. 231, etc..) The s.SP's were produced by Steyer in 1944 and 1945, for the Deutsche Reichsbahn. They weighed approximately 18 ton, with 20mm armor plate. They were powered by a air cooled 76-HP Steyer motor which was a bit inefficient to move such a heavy car (bad gas mileage). They could operate singly, but the Reichsbahn had envisioned them to be in a complete Armored Train.

Thank you Svenn.  Drawings are very good and since i know the turret dimensions I can scale off of that. 

regards
