Sorry I don't have the catalog but found on Ebay there are "other" plans you can size up for g gauge and most come from old magazines.

might be hard to do in this age of fear, where the taliban might come over here and blow things up; would make a cool outdoor model, however, with maybe a fish pond. very interesting idea!

loco50:

Go out to "Google" and search with the phrase "model dam" and there will appear many pages of responces.  there are some showing enough drawings and sketches like Toad said, that could be scaled/modified to fit your needs.  I doubt you will find anything that will exactly fit your space and size requirements, but you should find something to use as a basic plan to modify and resize to fit your needs.

Heck, they don't even make 1:29 house kits let alone hydroelectric dam kits!
