Mercury-Redstone launcher stats

Hey!

So, I'm doing a Project in my school and I am going to reenact the Freedom 7 missions in KSP. But I am having some difficulty finding info on the Redstone booster used in that particular mission. Wikipedia has most of it but not all covered. I need to know the TWR or the dry weight/mass (one is only necessary, I can reverse-calculate the other).

Thanks

According to the NASA report Mercury Project Summary dated October 1963 on page 79 there is table 4-13, which lists the assembly dry weight of 12,000lbs, and the lift-off weight of 66,000 lbs.

You're welcome.
