cenuij Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi, I am new to the forum and would like to contribute at some point. I am a 3d CAD designer and decided to use my abilities to create some 2d drawings and 3d CAD models of rare older vehicles that only exist in photographs and drawings. Because of this, I may have to use odd methods to get measurements (often guess work). I have searched the internet and came to the conclusion that only a single photo of the 'Ingoldby transporter' is available. A problem if you would like to build a model or reconstruction. I have included some images of the 3d model I have made so far. I would appreciate any comments regarding mistakes and I would also be happy to accept new info on this vehicle, particularly the drive train, axles and such. When finished, the 3d models can be used for 3d printing if anyone wanted a scale model. Or if I get enough info with detail, I could create full 2d drawings for manufacturing a full scale replica if someone was mad enough to build one. Hope you can help and enjoy the pictures. If you have any idea's of other vehicles that could be tackled, then let me know. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair Bear Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi Paul, Welcome along, I can't help with any of the details you are looking for but an absolutely fascinating project. If I could 3d print models I'd have to move house! Good luck. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have searched the internet and came to the conclusion that only a single photo of the 'Ingoldby transporter' is available. That'll be photo KID 1447 in the IWM's collection: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205090659 The mesueum hasn't digitised all of their collection, so an approach may reveal if they have other photos.

cenuij Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks for the replies, I thought that the IWM may just ignore me. I may explore that though, they may not. Thanks. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I believe that it mentioned in Moving the Guns : The Mechanization of the Royal Artillery, 1854 - 1939 by Philip Ventham & David Fletcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenuij Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks for the info regarding the book. I am now considering what other vehicles to do, but it would be nice to have access to some measurements. This one is on hold until I get more info, although I took it out to South Witham for a short photo shoot Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
