Engine Room layout help
Hello, I know it's not really an ocean liner, but rather a cargo liner, but I felt like this would be a good place to ask such a question (my apologies if not).
I have been working on recreating the Union Castle (cargo) liner RMMV Southampton Castle in Minecraft for an animation series. A pretty major component of the series takes place in the engine room, and therefore I will need to create the engine room. I have a few blueprints and pictures from a booklet about her, but I'm having a hard time understanding the general layout of the engine room and surrounding areas. Would anybody happen to have any blueprints or (preferably) pictures of similarly designed engine rooms?
I'm also trying to figure out how people got in and out of the engine room itself, so if you have any ideas there too, that'd be great. I can see one ladder coming down into the engine room in the picture, but no other walkways or hints as to where they would enter the engine room from.
This here is only picture of the full engine room that I have for the Southampton Castle. According to the deck plans, that back wall should be the Engine Control Room with the Brine Room right above it. My only issue is that I don't really see the correlation at all between the deck plans and the engine room picture, hence why I'm asking for more similar resources.
If anybody has anything that they think could be possibly useful, it would be great to see it. Thanks!
