Noel - I took a second look at the 5601 images I have and, again, the only one showing the cylinder plate is the Builder's Photograph. In later views over the years, the plate is missing. I then looked at other images I have of Q 4-8-4's and it's a hit-or-miss situation. Some locomotives had them at one time in their service lives and some kept them throughout until being sold for scrap. I guess that as repairs were made over the years, some plates were removed and not replaced. Or, since being brass, were salvaged during World War Two scrap drives as was the case with many brass number plates found on the headlight brackets. If anyone has a cylinder plate in their collection and can take a digital image of it, please post. Best Regards - Louis

Noel - I've got a number of right and left hand side views of 5601 from construction to scrapping. Only in the Baldwin Builder's Photograph does the round Baldwin Builder's Plate show on the left hand side. In all other later such views there is no builder's plate showing. The plate might've been removed early in the locomotive's service life during an overhaul or following some kind of incident. I'm inserting and attaching the Builder's Photograph:

 

 

The round builder's plate is located just about directly above the cylinder. As for 5608, it was the first of 13 additional 4-8-4's that the Q built themselves at the West Burlington Shops. Baldwin supplied the boilers. The earlier 5600 through 5607 were all constructed at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA. Best Regards - Louis

5608 - Without digging out my CB&Q book, I find no CB&Q #5608 in my (complete) BLW records

Plates would have been standard 9 1/4" round BLW plates

I am looking for the information contained on the Baldwin builders plates for 05 engine numbers 5600 thru 5608.

I would appreciate information on #5601 in particular. I am aware of the W. Burlington plate on pg 143 of Corbins book, but I need a Baldwin plate.

Thanks

Noel Crawford
