This might be of interest to some of you who are trying to learn as much about locomotive construction as you can.
I have a complete set of plans for a 1.6" scale "Mike" available on e-bay, you can see how these locomotives were built or you can build your own scale locomotive with these. Please check them out at the following url::

There are a total of 188 drawings with all the dimensions, ranging in size from 36”X 72” and everything in between down to 8 ½”X 11” in size. Plus 6 pages containing the valve motion assembly and timing procedures. All are folded and in manila envelopes.
I also have 40 Live Steam magazines, for 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994 available on e-bay please check them out at the following url:
