This info is from Richard Prince's book. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Coast was a 1926 reorganization of the 2nd Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic (1906-1915 foreclosure, then 1916-1926). The new corporation was controlled from the outset by the ACL. On 1 January 1946, the AB&C became the Western Division of the ACL.
MIKADOS (leading dimensions given in order of cylinders, driver diameter, working pressure, locomotive weight, tractive effort). The numbers given are AB&C; they had been renumbered from AB&A original series. The 1946 survivors had 7000 added to their numbers. K-3 #301-302 -- Baldwin, 1910 -- 25.5 x 30 -- 57 -- 200 -- 279,500 -- 62,060 K-1 #201-215 -- Baldwin, 1912-15 -- 24 x 30 -- 57 -- 185 -- 252,000 -- 47,670 K-2 #225-235 -- ex-New York Central H-5 class, various subclasses, rebuilt from G-5 2-8-0s. These arrived on the AB&C 1939-1941. That photo in the July 1958 RMC is of one of these. leading dimensions: 25 x 32 -- 56 -- 180 -- 280,000 -- 48,570. Some were equipped with a booster but I am not sure if any of the AB&C locos were so equipped. Unfortunately, H-5 plans are also non-existent in the modeling magazines, per Wayner and Stephans. I have a small diagram in Edson & Vail's "Steam Locomotives of the New York Central Lines" that I could send but it is pretty small for any kind of modeling. Let me know if it can be of use. Full-size diagrams are available from the New York Central System Historical Society. If you are interested in AB&C steam power per se, the NYC also sold three B-2 class 0-6-0s to AB&C. Again, I have the NYC small diagram but I see no listing for plans in the indexes for the modeling magazines. regards ... pqr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Ming" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 1:47 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} Huge Assist Needed > > Hi All: > > Is there ANYONE out there that has the July 1958 Railroad Model Craftsman > issue?
