Hi Doug,
FYI, here is what I am doing to the classic locos we all lust for.
This is the Little River Railroad std gauge Baldwin 2-4-4-2 logger It is solid modeled to 7.5" gauge scale. The whole idea is to built it like the boys at Baldwin did. I am using Baldwin std parts drawings. did some measuring on the original.(was upside down for 20 years beside tracks in Wash /Oregon and is now on the Oregon coast the last I heard.) I am also going to do it in 5" track gauge.
I want to do some of the classics K-27, No 9, etc and have some super steam started: NYCH10a, DMIR 2-10-2, etc. Virginian EL-3 electric, and others.
Regards,
Harley
