The CAD orientation does not show this the best, also these are the original CADs (little over 3 years old) which I inherited from my predecessor. There are a few changes now, but tumblehome was (until now) not one of them!
Currently the taper of the tumblehome is 0.6mm (so apx 3.5 inches in round numbers) I've attached a section to illustrate this better. (The lifting eyes are a good reference) Now, whether this is 100% correct or not is not something I'll swear to until I measure it, (which is something I'll now be sure to do) although I'm sure someone will comment on this in the interim.
I was actually due to visit the loco last weekend to do stuff such as this, but external circumstances prevented this from happening. It will be re-arranged however. After this I shall finalise the modifications and issue a fresh CAD.
