SS&S Engine 6

January 25, 2018 12:10PM
Hello all,

I am looking for drawings to help the MCRR with new parts for our 1891 Baldwin. I looked and DeGloyer doesn't seem to have them. The engine is number 6, class 8-18D-74. Builder's C/N 12288 built in 10/1891 for the Surry, Sussex, and Southampton Railway. Also, engine 4, class 8-18D-70, builder's C/N 9576 built in 10/1888 for the Surry, Sussex, and Southampton Railway was built off of the same drawing. The specs sheets say it is 8-18D erecting drawing #7. I am not aware of any other 8-18D moguls built other than engine 4 and engine 6 that call for erecting drawing #7 but there could very well be a few.

We also need Baldwin tender frame drawing 265 so we can start building a new tender frame for NB&W Engine 2. I have had no luck finding anything related to this.

Also, we found a stamp on engine 6's tender that either says "131530" or "13-530". Any information on what this stamp means would be helpful. It is known it received an extra order tender from Baldwin around 1915-1920. Ultimately we would like to figure out what date and construction number the extra order tender's builders plate should say, which is long missing, though we found the remnants of the plug welded holes where it once was.

All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
