Scale reference drawings of Steam Locomotives needed

[Anonymous]

Hi all :)

Im in semi-urgent need of a source or books with nice, accurate scale drawings of American steam locomotives. Also am in need of inside the cab and instrumentation photos.

Right now I am specifically looking for pennsy S-1 and T-1 streamliner drawings, side and front views at least. Ill be emailing the webmasters of some of the Pennsy sites for leads, but Im sure you guys know of some sources or books that would have scale reference drawings of any type of American steam traction, any era.

Thanks in Advance!

Model Railroader's Cylopedia volume 1 Is a great book with many drawings of American steamers as well as other good information pertaining to steam engines. It doesn't have the specific ones you're looking for though.

Hmm I think I know somebody who has that one, thank you!

For all things Pennsy, your first online stop should be:

If Jerry Britton doesn't have the diagrams you're looking for already online, join the PRR-Talk discussion forum and ask for them!

Train Shed Cyclopedia, published in the 70s, is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Done in 72pg volumes, there seem to be at least 90 volumes made. (?) 3 view and sectional drawings of all kind of traction, rolling stock, and buildings.

Ordered an old copy of MR Steam loco vol1 off Ebay.

Orsen, thank you for the Pennsy link, awesome site.

Glad you found the info you'e looking for!
But I have a question- Doesn't adding the third nacelle in that position cause an imbalance in your warp field?? And isn't it in the way of the rear phaser banks?
Live long and Prosper!
