Unfortunately, the scan was about 80x100 pixels -- a thumbnail at 
best.  Lloyd's going to try to get a higher-resolution scan and I'll give 
it another go.

Converting to a CAD file tends to be more than just running it 
through a raster-to-vector converter, though.  It's going to take a 
good bit of cleaning up before it's anything close to usable in a 
CAD program, by which time it will not be a copy of the original 
work, but an original product which uses the plan in the book as a 
research source.

Loyde, I am more than willing to share data.  I will
take your download this weekend and work with it, I
can not open the file here at work so have to wait
until I get to my own computer.  I will keep you
posted. Thanks for your efforts and if this does not
work I look for your next input.

 I sent them to Vance Bass hoping that they might be good enough to post 
on his web site.  My nephew, who sent me the plans in the first place is 
going to send them again in a different format.  I had no idea that there 
would be so much interest in them.  When I get the new copy I will forward it

Lloyd, found your posting after I responded to Harley.
I originally requested Forney info.  Please send the
TIFF file to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I have two
programs that claim they handle TIFF, however some
files work and some do not. Thanks for your effort.

RE: Forney Plans

Lloyd,
You can download a free Autocad drawing viewer called WHIP at the
Autodesk.com site. Allows you to view and print DWG drawings.
If you email me the TIFF file, I can covert this to a JPEG or what ever so
you can see it. I have a number of programs that gives some flexibility in
TIFF.
You can also insert a TIFF file into a Microsoft Word document. Go to
Insert-File-Select file then size it to the paper. What word version do you
have?

 Someone was looking for Forney plans the other day and I do not recall
who it was.  My nephew who is a big train fan sent me a plan in TIFF format
which I would be happy to forward on.  He also has a two volume set of Two
Feet Between the Rails that he would be willing to part with.  You can

Now I have this Forney plan in a TIFF format and don't seem to be able

open the file?

And I'd like to give a try to converting it to AutoCad DXF format.  If 
you'll send it to me (or tell me where to retrieve it), I'll give it a go.

Re: Forney Plans

[Trent Dowler]

Hello Lloyd and everyone,

  I wasn't the one that was looking for the Forney plans originally, but I would
really like a copy of the file as well.
  You mentioned that the file is in TIFF format. Another person in the group has
already replied with a source of appropriate viewers but I might be able to
convert the file to a different format (GIF, JPEG, PCX, etc.) that would be more
useful to your particular needs. If you want me to give it a try just send it to
me as an attachment to e-mail.

Later,
Trent

Download the shareware version of Paint Shop Pro or ACDSee from Tucows.
They will display that format.
