The Davenport 45 ton end cab switcher-Any one know of some drawings?

Noah,
I tried to help. Did a keyword search in the Index of Magazines:

When I checked my back issues, the two of the seven hits that I thought would be useful don't look like your photos. The narrow gauge Sumpter Valley switcher in the March 1972 NMRA Bulletin, reproduced from Mallory Hope Ferrell's Rails, Sagebrush and Pine is quite different, and State of Georgia critter in the Light Iron Digest August/September 2004 issue is also different. Looks as though you'll have to dig up one of the articles on perspective photogrammetry. Good luck.

Group,

I plan on modeling the Hillsboro and Northeastern railway, a small shortline in Wisconsin that is now defunct. It had two engines over it's about 80 year history, and one of them was a Davenport 45 ton end cab switcher. I don't know of anyone who's made a model of it, and I plan on kitbashing my own. But, I'd like to find some plans of it to make my basic measurements from. DOs anybody know of any on the internet somewhere? It was originaly a government RR switcher, if that helps any. Also, to see some photos of it, try here:

I'd appreciate any help you can provide,
Noah
