<p> I've always been intrigued by the 3-cylinder concept on steam locomotives, and the nearest one I can get to is at the St. Louis Museum of Transportation, I've been to see the #12 a few times, but can't get to it easily, as it is in the museum's restoration area (not normally open to visitors). I know basic information on it, such as fuel type (coal), wheel arrangement (0-8-0), driver size (53 in.), year built (1926), and builder (ALCO, Schenectady works). I know more than this, but that's just the basics. I'd like some more info. on the #12, like original builders drawings, specifications, and even reports on how well it operated. I know stuff like that is hard to come by, but it would be a big help if I could get stuff like that.</p>
