HI,
I hope to focus enough when I retire to build a replica Stanley, say a model R or similar coffin nose.
There has been some talk of Modelworks selling a kit, but I have not seen any chatter in that direction lately.
Previously, there seemed to be an effort to document all the sources of components and parts, such as sheet metal hoods, bodies, engines, boilers, pumps, rims, tires, that would get a guy started....but I do not know where it is located in this forum.
I have looked at SACA and see a few drawings for things, but are there any sources that would sell drawings accurate enough to build chassis, body, etc?
Just a collection of drawings for one model car would be a great start .
I would probably wind up buying an engine and boiler, but draw a blank when it comes to locating all the other parts I would have to come up with.

The vast experience of this forum could/should be pooled so any new builds do not have to re-invent the car all over again.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Model Works is presently in bankruptcy court. All of their assets are currently in lockdown. There are plenty of places that will sell you almost anything that you need to build a noncondensing Stanley. The sources change quite rapidly. Nothing is forever. Some of the more prominent Stanley suppliers are Mark Herman, Alan Kelso, and John Goold. Check the front page of this website for links to their websites.

I happened to come across this from Robert Wilhelm's site. Hope it helps.
