Some of you out there might recall the Cleveland 4-6-0 with what I believe was
a wooden boiler. I don't know about the steam chest and drivers. Does anyone
know a person who assembled one of them and got it to run. If nothing else, I
would like to obtain a copy of the plans for this locomotive. I can recall
going to the main branch of the public library in Minneapolis, asking the
librarian to go back to the shelves and retrieve bound issues of MR which had
ads hawking the Cleveland Ten Wheeler. Ads for the Miller ALCO also appeared
in the same issue. Although I made the rounds of hobby shops in Minneapolis, I
cannot recall ever seeing any built-up locomotive in S. My favorite was a shop
devoted exclusively to model railroading known as Ray's Train Shop. I don't
recall that it ever had any S stuff--Ray was an O-scale man to the soul of his
being--but it was a wonderful place for a ninth grader to hang out and learn
that baskeball didn't really matter that much, trains did.
