[CBQ] Re: 4-8-4 Drawings

["mallet_scott" <mallet_scott@yahoo.com>]

Nothing CB&Q-related right now (but I am building an Allen mogul in 7.5" 
gauge).  I'm working on a degree in mechanical engineering, and I've loved 
trains since I was 4.  I'm interested in the technical aspect of steam, so I 
like to collect blueprints of the locomotives I admire.  I also volunteer at 
the Colorado Railroad Museum on the weekends, so about once a week, I get to 
stand in the shadow of the 5629 in all her mainline glory.  The library at the 
museum has boxes of random CB&Q drawings - some for the O-5 4-8-4's - and I was 
wondering if there were any more floating around out there.
