I'm looking for schematics for a TOS movie era (2290's) engineering room, and associated machinery (power output to nacelles, etc). Help would be appreciated.

The Cut-away model is probobly the best bet.

I think he is wondering if you could actually supply it...

In the Interiors section of Spike's website, there is a cut-away type drawing of it (Engine Room, USS Enterprise NCC-1701, Federation Enterprise-class). Not schematics, I know, but maybe it would help...

That won't be 2290s, though. And perhaps it's best not to have too exact schematics of the 2290s version, but rather pretend that it was NOT a complete reuse of the E-D set with confusing camera angles...

I don't have it with me at the moment (it's at home, I'm at the dorm), but IIRC "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise" has some plans of the E-nil-refit's engine room. Granted, those are based more on TWOK and TSFS than later scenes. (Did we even see Engineering in TFF? If we did, I must've blanked the memory.)

We *sorta* see Engineering... It's mostly just the end of the Jefferies tube set with a couple consoles and some off-camera glowey lights, when the E-A is launching (Scotty says something about geting out to push). It's *supposed* to be Engineering (anyone want to check the script?) but could easily be almost anywhere else.

I can't tell for sure, but it doesn't look like "Gilo" included the swimming pool or bowling alley!

Firstly, that picture is waaay to wide to be inline-linked. Secondly, it's stealing Gislo's bandwidth. Please edit it to a link rather than an inline.
Incidentally, that's a Doug Drexler cutaway done specifically for the Captain's Chair CD-ROM.

Done and done.

I always assumed that the Engineering room remained similar to that seen in TWOK - but that the part we see in STV was in the aft portion of the upper secondary hull, where the conduit splits to go to the two nacelle supports. True, the angles are wrong - so maybe this is an entirely different part of the ship - something to do with internal power (since I believe that is what Scott is working on at the time).
I find it hard to believe that the TWOK engine room would be modified extensively.

Is this the bit you mean?

KIRK The feeling's mutual. Engine room.
SCOTTY'S VOICE Scotty here.
KIRK We'll need all the power you can muster, Mister.
SCOTTY'S VOICE Dinna you worry, Captain. We'll beat those Klingon devils even if I have to get out and push.
KIRK I'll keep your offer in mind, Mister Scott. Best speed, Mister Sulu.

Yeah, that's it. And I see they specifically said "Engine room."
Posted by Treknophyle (Member # 509) on :
Oh well, maybe the entire length of that deck is called the 'Engine Room' - and the TWOK part is still present at the forward end...
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
That schematic is pretty cool... I wonder what that big room at the aft end of the upper saucer bubble is. Looks like it takes up decks 2 and 3. Also looks like it has something that's meant to slide out a door of some kind. Maybe a big ole telescope... or a ray gun....

According to the FJD "Star Trek Blueprints" set, it's supposed to be exactly as you surmise: a telescope, IMNSHO. That space is labeled as a physics lab in the blueprints and shows what I've always assumed was a telescope. After all, we've got what could easily be a "hatch" above that area as shown in almost every set of prints I've ever seen I believe that every pic I've seen of the studio models shows some sort of "decal" in that same area, as well.
Might be wrong, tho. I'm in a bit of a hurry and can't do proper studio model photo research.

Actually the descriptions in the FJD blueprints indicate the 'decal' on the exterior is made of a sensor-transparent material, so the telescope can 'see' out into space without resorting to using a hatch.

Thanks, Stephen L. Had planned to pull out & dust off my set tomorrow. This just saves me the time.
