USRA light Mikado & Pacifics

Hey I am doing a project and I would like to see blueprints of them.

I want to know if they use boiler the same on both locomotives, like how the PRR K4 & L1s use the same boiler.

No, the boiler was not the same...

If you can find a copy of Kalmbach's Locomotive Cyclopedia Vol 1 Steam Locomotives, it has HO scale drawings of most USRA types.

That didn't stop model manufacturers using the same shell for HO models....
