Terry Griner Waiting for the rain to stop on July 3rd in Columbus Ohio -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Parker Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2006 6:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SSLiveSteam] Cricket Dear All, I was recently successful in tracking down an original copy of the 1896 Engineering News and now have high resolution scans of the line drawings and more important of a builders photograph from the article on the Byers industrial locomotive that the Cricket is based on. If anyone is interested please let me know. The 6000x4700 picture is a 2.4MB JPG The 5700x6800 gray scale drawing is a 374KB GIF I also have made small 800 pixel wide versions of the above. Maybe I have missed it but I have never seen the photograph before, the only illustration being the line cut advertisement from January 1896 (which unfortunately was not present in the bound volume - Jan to June). The picture is the classic 3/4 front view and is of the prototype as it differs a little in some details to the drawings (the text refers to this "The front and back cross frames have been changed somewhat from the form shown in the photograph, but..."). I have also started on a set of CAD drawings for a reasonably accurate model in a larger scale and a two cylinder wobbler for O gauge (which I started with the information from the geared loco web site). For a little industrial locomotive I find it strangely attractive. Best wishes, Susan. _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html "This e-mail is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain privileged, sensitive, or protected health information.
