I'm trying to find some reasonably good drawings and a description of how a typical turn on the century rail scale was constructed. Specifically interested in trying to build a working model of a 40', 50ton scale like that used by the SVRy. I went to the Fairbanks web site but they state on their contacts page that they have no historical information available...
