Nicely, the 'weight data' and the DAN segment of the 1/24 Gemini kit are right next to each other, so relatively straight-forward to size. As for the exact source, capacity data 'stenciling' was provided on most (if not all) of the Microscale sheets for various rolling stock sheets, so finding the original sheet may be nearly impossible. Since this isn't necessary for this modeling purpose (after all, custom making these puppies, right?) it probably is just good enough to know the general source. In fact, many earlier MS sheets from the '70's- '80's are no longer available, even the numbers could have been 'retreaded' by MS. So, no worries! Oh, MT, Microscale was definitely around during this time frame as we've found from the Mill Falcon project (a very cool discovery, IMO.) It shows the ILM modelers basically ran down to the LHS and raided their inventory... perhaps not for *everything* but certainly for some things... Does anyone know if the majority of the filming models were built over in the UK or made some where else? Sorry, a little OT, just curious what kind of LHS they might have visited (such as Rosemont Hobbies...) for these kits & decals.
