Construction plans for the kit I can't help with, but the locomotive was a model of one of the Chicago Great Western ten-wheeler classes.
The original was a static kit and was all or mostly wood. However, I believe Cleveland made conversion kits around 1948 to turn the model into an operating locomotive. If I find any more info, I'll past it along. regards ... pqr ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Baker To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 4:31 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} RE: Steam locomotives of long, long ago 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.
