I am willing to offer my services as a qualified design engineer to enable the reproduction and recreation of engineering drawings in their period style with the ability to recreate missing or obscured details to their original design intent based on my extensive knowledge of manufacturing methods and design practice over the last 200 years.

Some basic examples are shown below.

The image on the left is from a photographic negative of an original foundry drawing taken during WW2, the negatives were then stored in a separate location to ensure that a copy survived in the event that the original was destroyed. Some attempt had been made previously or at the time of photographing to remove enough grime for the drawing to be visible with some judicious rubbing particularly round the existing damage.

Other records provided information on the driving wheel diameters which was enough to provide the scale of the drawing the accuracy of which was corroborated during reconstruction as all the other dimensions logically slotted into place. The drawing has been reproduced accurately even to the extent of the company stamp.

Gaston was built in 1836 for the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad in North Carolina and was one of the earliest locomotives to run in the USA alongside its twin named Raleigh.
