Does anyone know of plans or even sketches of an O gauge tin plate engine? I
built one of the Project Engines for O gauge (I think the originial was for
larger gauge) using one of my oscillating cylinder engines and double chain
drive to an axle with a modified Midwest boiler. I built

Modified or simplified refers to(as Roundhouse Engineering puts it) the idea
that you use the linkage to change direction but not the steam valve
cut-off. The radius rod attaches directly to the valve rod instead of being
offset on a combination lever.

Actually Vance, that is a misconception that has been fostered
I don't know of any plans off the top of my head. I know Paul Kenney
at one time was selling kits to turn the RH boiler/chassis kit into a
2-6-2. Don't know if that had plans, drawings, or anything like that
which may help out or not.
Truth be told, though, you don't really need plans
Kevin did not mention one important thing: if you're going to model a loco built by an
American builder, you will want to modify the frames before assembling the chassis.
The British-style frames are plates of steel with axle bushings in them. American
frames
would have been made of steel bars

Thanks.

One other set of plans that I failed to mention earlier is Denver, made
available by the Denver Garden Railway Society [www.denvergrs.org]. The last
time I looked, they did not make mention of the plans being available on their
web site. It may be a passing project, or not yet published

I think that you should contact the National Railway Historical Society
