7.5" Gauge Lilly Belle Drawings

[Roy]

Ebay item #300538150354. Asking big money, but soliciting offers.

[Unfortunate Bystander]

The asking price is a bit optimistic in my opionion!

Those are the reproduction prints that were offered by the CHPS several years ago. I believe Roger Broggie Jr has the real originals. So the asking price is very optimistic!

It might be nice to have just enough of those drawings here to make a good model of the Lilly Belle, if not the Central Pacific #173.

The same seller is offering just 1 drawing of the Lilly Belle as well. It looks to be a profile picture and reads to be actual size. Pretty nifty for $50.

The CP 173 can be obtained from railroad supply company. Non Walt Disney version, and the differences have been covered in other threads.

So one can purchase the same prints of CP-173 from this vendor? Do you know the cost?

no response..........I'm guessing the answer is no???

I purchased a full set, about 60 drawings from Carolwood a few years ago. There are a number of full size 36 X 48 plans and a lot of smaller detail sheets. There was a set for sale on E-Bay a few weeks ago, but I don’t see them listed currently. I am not sure if Carolwood still offers them, I would reach out them at info@carolwood.com. I got lucky a few months ago and purchased an original blue line set.

If Carolwood no longer offers them I would watch e-bay.

I noticed the plans are listed again on e-bay. Walt Disney's 7.5 Gauge "Lilly Belle" Steam Train Blueprints - 62 sheets

I just picked up a set. Make them a reasonable offer instead of the asking price......I offered $450 and they took it. I know it's still high, but it wasn't $800 either. They seem to be good folks!!! I can't wait to get them.
