Re: ng loco drawings - and a lunar tangent

Hi,

I've got nothing for Live Steam

Other than the K27, I do not have anything you mention. The K27 is the detailed drawings from the 1973 Model Railroader 2-part series.

As far as SG goes, I have several for the PRR steamers, a few from Southern Steam Program (630-722-750-4501) and the basics for the Sou "tractors".

FYI, My primary interest is Pennsylvania RR but it is less detailed. My secondary interest is D&RGW narrow gauge (no SG) and its sisters such as Uintah, RGS, C&S, SV, West Side Lumber etc, and finally those items from my high school days (Southern Steam Program). Additionally, the Southern Crescent is major interest being private after Amtrak.

Add in Darjeeling and Garratts and you cover 99% of my railroading interest. I love hearing about others and would like to visit, but that is my focus.

I keep dreaming of a fictional might-have-been model of a 2-6-2+2-6-2 along D&RGW lines based on the K36. Yes I mean only 3 driving axles per engine. A 6 driving axle brute to take 14-16 cars up Cumbres and double headed (with either a mike or another Garrett) for 20-odd cars.

And a 3/4 size GG1!!!!!

Well back to luna - At one time in College I worked out with my geology prof soil loading capability on the lunar surface and wanted a small demo layout with a Space 1999 type craft for hauling freight into space and a freight railroad on the moon.

If you do not know Space 1999 - Barbara Bain was a real looker.
