I used some of my Q books to put together a short article on the M4As, which were my favorite Q class.   I hope that this meets your needs at this time.   Let me know if you need anything else from my library.

All-

As my research material is packed I would appreciate it if anyone with ready access to the information would give me a short history of the rebuilding of the M4 2-10-4s from drag freight locos to manifest-able machines.  Dates, original / final assignments, etc.. and what changes were made?

Thanks,
Charlie Vlk
