Re: Full set of engineering drawings for the K-36s and K-37 available at...

These are pretty nice, some are class specific (different rear footplate drawings) and some apply to both 36s and 37s. For instance, their is one cab drawing with different measurements noted in certain areas (like the front wall opening for the boiler/firebox) specific to 36s or 37s. They were drawn by the D&RGW engineering department starting in 1926, probably right off a K-36 (or more than one) in the shop and were probably used for designing the K-37s. These aren't Baldwin drawings. I believe the D&RGW made a number of minor changes shortly after the 36s were delivered and these drawings may not reflect those changes. These are likely the same drawings that the D&S and C&TS shops would have I would guess. Not a complete set but almost, and again, reflects 1926 configuration.

Pretty cool. Nothing like starting the day with a good mechanical drawing I says...
