Charlie -
I live near the Colo RR Museum and also not far from Hol Wagner, who probably
knows sources of erection drawings, etc. I would be willing to do some
research, once we collectively decide the best model. Of course, that
decision may have much to with available plans, photos, etc. The O-1a is not
only one of my favorites but also a smaller loco than the O-5 and M-4, more
suitable for those with smaller layout space.
