As a model engineer I would like to construct a working set of air worked chairlock points but cannot find any scaled drawings. Can anyone help please? I have tried the museum but they, apparently, have never even heard of them.

There are some sites which have photos but no dimensions.

Apparently I would have to sign up as a member of the institute of signal engineers (at cost of course) simply to be able ask if drawings are available.
As I am trying to make a scale, working model, detailed and dimensioned drawings are a must; and not just a GA although even that would be helpful, albeit not definitive. It seems daft that I can get copies of original drawings for most of the full sized steam locomotives, even including some broad gauge ones, but for a set of LT points. No.

No. If that's the case Tom might be able to help.
