I think it would be quite cool if someone could help me find some blueprints for the Chinese HXN5 locomotive.

The only kind of thing I could find was this picture from WeChat but SavageZhou and I couldn't find anything else, so maybe with some more crowdsourcing someone could find them? This one is at an angle so I can't really use it to make an accurate train

If I even build this it'll be a pretty long way off but it sort of depends on whether or not I can get blueprints or at the very least a decent idea of the dimensions of everything because I really don't want to eyeball it

    @asteroidbook345 yea i know but sadly i still for the life of me cannot even find the most accurate blueprints at all and only weirdly drawn "blueprints" that are close enough but not

    @asteroidbook345 or better yet... just take the ge gevo made by savageman and then slapping some random cc206 cabin and then repainting it into a green color and bam! you got yourself... a pretty poor replica!

    @asteroidbook345 The Democratic Republic of the Congo (French: République démocratique du Congo (RDC) [kɔ̃ɡo]), informally Congo-Kinshasa, DR Congo, the DRC, the DROC,[7] or the Congo, and formerly and also colloquially Zaire, is a country in Central Africa. It is bordered to the northwest by the Republic of the Congo, to the north by the Central African Republic, to the northeast by South Sudan, to the east by Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, and by Tanzania (across Lake Tanganyika), to the south and southeast by Zambia, to the southwest by Angola, and to the west by the South Atlantic Ocean and the Cabinda exclave of Angola. By area, it is the second-largest country in Africa and the 11th-largest in the world. With a population of around 108 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most populous officially Francophone country in the world. The capital and largest city is Kinshasa, which is also the nation's economic center.

    Centered on the Congo Basin, the territory of the DRC was first inhabited by Central African foragers around 90,000 years ago and was reached by the Bantu expansion about 3,000 years ago.[8] In the west, the Kingdom of Kongo ruled around the mouth of the Congo River from the 14th to 19th centuries. In the northeast, center and east, the kingdoms of Azande, Luba and Lunda ruled from the 16th and 17th centuries to the 19th century. King Leopold II of Belgium formally acquired rights to the Congo territory in 1885 and declared the land his private property, naming it the Congo Free State. From 1885 to 1908, his colonial military forced the local population to produce rubber and committed widespread atrocities. In 1908, Leopold ceded the territory, which thus became a Belgian colony.

    @HuskyDynamics01 yeah it’s got the width right from what I can tell but yeah the cab is wider where it meets the rest of the train than it is on the HXN5. The whole thing is a bit of a different shape with different panel lines and those things which I guess I’d call segments? The bogeys are pretty similar but even those use broad gauge rather than standard. I’ll probably just make do with a different one but I’ll figure it out. The top view I do have I can use its measurements to find the approximate proportions

    @asteroidbook345 I may have found something that might work, at least to an extent. It's a multi-view diagram (well, actually the full provisional speed certificate document) for the Indian WDG6G locomotive. It should be enough to get the dimensions and overall proportions at least, since both are cab-forward locomotives built on the Evolution-series frame, but it's not quite the same. The cab shaping is noticeably different, and the WDG6G has a second cab at the rear that isn't present on the HXN5.


    The diagram is pretty high (or at least useable) resolution, and can be found on page 6 of this PDF. It has front, back, top, left side, and left cutaway views.


    Also some other pictures of the model one that you might be able to use for detailing or something later on.

    @HuskyDynamics01 I found the larger version, don't worry about it. A top or slightly better front view would be amazing but it's alright if you can't find anything
