Jim K: Thank you for your efforts.
John Bell: I'm actually interested in building a... ummm... errr... ...(virtual scale)... ...models of them. Bob Mc: > It may be possible for me to get the drawings through someone I know with > the > ACL/SAL Historical Society. Well, I've already Googled and found their website, including the forum. However, I hesitate to register, then panhandle for some info. Thank you VERY MUCH for your generous offer. Hopefully, it will come to fruition. > Do you know who built the engines in question? Why of course! They were built by Baldwin. Do you need the builder's numbers? Boiler specs? Tractive effort? <g> For those of you that may be wondering why all this, I can only say that there are two REAL railroading interests that I have: Steam roads and diesel roads. <g> Seriously... In the Diesel category, it would be the lines and engines of my youth. (The basis for my S scale efforts.) As for steam: About my ONLY interest in standard gauge revolves around the Missouri & Arkansas. The M&A was first known as the Eureka Springs Rwy, then the St. Louis & North Arkansas, then the Missouri & North Arkansas, the Missouri & North Arkansas, and last vestige of it: The Arkansas & Ozarks. (Which happened to be powered by 2 GE 70 ton diesels.) Those of us that are "fans" of the M&A et al, simply refer to it as it was known in the region: The North Arkansas. I have been highly interested in this line since truly "discovering it" back in 1976. I have all the books published concerning it. My hard-copy folders and virtual folders are crammed full with as much info as I can amass about it. It's a sickness that rears its head often. The interest never diminishes, it only goes into periods of slumber until some new tidbit is unearthed. As for the former AB&C/ACL engines in question, here's some quik links that depict the North Arkansas 50 Class locos: http://www.vscalecreations.com/images2/MA53b.jpg And a poor quality pic that is nothing less than dramatic, if not the best quality. http://www.vscalecreations.com/images2/L54n55-1.jpg Thanks for the indulgence, gents.
