Is there any good books or websites that has a collection of good dimensioned/scale line drawings that I can use to create AutoCAD/Solidworks 3D models from? I am playing with the idea of getting some rapid prototyping done for various N and Z scale models. I don't want to order a bunch of back issues of MR or Mainline modeler for each model type. Someone had to put together a collection by now. Where do the guys who make the 2D paintshop pics get them from? I find it hard to believe they are drawing these up freehand. I'm looking for anything modern. Thanks in advanced!!!
