Re: Looking for Scale Drawings
Thanks Bruce! Yes, the photos do help but they do not give me "exact" dimensions that I would like to have. It is strange that someone has not published a book over the years with all the classic locos in it, with detailed dimensioned drawingsI have seen a few but they are very incomplete.

Re: Looking for Scale Drawings
"The Mudhens" by Dennis O'Berry has multiple photos of every K-27 built, providing a wealth of information for detailing your model. This book is out of print, but I recently found my copy at the bookstore at the Western Railway Museum - they had a second copy. Their website is: http://www.wrm.org/ Jeff Williams = Bob Magill wrote: Hello All Planning some detail work on my Accucraft K-27 and am looking for a source of quality scale drawings/prints for same, as well as other famous Mikados (K-series, C-series, etc).

Bob, As indicated by Vance, the set in Model Railroad is excellent. You might also try some of the drawings in the John Maxwell collection at www.colong.com. I just checked and there are a number of detail drawings for the K-27 but I have not seen them and can not comment on how useful they might be. Regards, Tom Burns
Re: Looking for Scale Drawings
Bob, the definitive drawings for the K-27 (indeed, the only ones with any detail) were in Model Railroader back in 1972 (two-part article). Do your best to get those two issues, and you'll have the ones almost everyone uses. I'm not aware of any other source for this loco, but there may be one I have missed in the last few years. Al Armitage did a fine series on the K-37 in the Gazette in 1997. There were also a couple of Ed Gebhardt's plans for the Grant C-16s, but there are no detailed drawings of the Baldwin C-16s that I know of. There was a nice one printed in the program of one of the railfairs back in the 1940s, which is the basis of Bob Sloan's plans in "The Rainbow Route", but I haven't been able to find a copy of that and it's not a highly detailed drawing in any case -- just the most detailed. To find what's available, a great place to start is the Model Railroad Magazine Index (http://index.mrmag.com). Go to keyword search and enter something like "C-16 plan" to see what's available in the magazines. Surprisingly, detailed plans for many of these locos just don't exist, so you must work from photographs. You can find an excellent list of published photos of any D&RGW locomotive at http://www.drgw.org in the Roster section. -vance- "This is the time in life that I am living, and I'll face each day with a smile.
