Hey Andrew,
Thanks your website and the illustrations of Baldwin Style by David Fletcher are awesome. Actually, the version that I need first is from this engine Style 285. We just ordered the drawing from DeGoyler for this engine and are busy creating a 3D Model which we would like to illustrate "as delivered".
Do you or David Fletcher know how to decode the Baldwin documents to come up with the Style 285? I see a resource available as microfilm but not online available from Germany. I don't think that I will make it to Texas in the next time.
Box Folder
28 2-3 Paint Data, 1857-1870. (4 v.)Also available on microfilm, Mf92.06.
Baldwin Files Descriptions
Also does anyone understand" Finish D158, except steam chest covers finished. Brass shop finish No.3, exhibistion finish."???
Is David Fletcher maybe from Australia because of the country silhouette and the drawings? Our current CAD expert is Peter Maining from Australia...
Thanks for the help
