Framed 2 axle, or two independent truck, 4 axle? In either case, cribbing from
the official sets is not a bad approach... 4563 for a 2 axle and 4565 for a 2
truck 4 axle. Both are on BrickShelf instruction scans I believe. Those designs
are vaguely european but not terrifically so.
Switcher designs haven't changed "much" in the US in 70 years.
Contact me offline if what you are doing is charitable work, I'd consider
letting you use MTW-2001, which will fit any era from 1935 through today.
Also, scan Bricks On The Brain Instruction Portal, I think there are some
designs there.

| (...) Thanks. The 4563 looks good. I'll just have to come up with some of those pieces used for the doors. This train is part of a Great Ball Contraption module, which should show up at Brickfest later this year... Steve (20 years ago, 3-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains)
