  1. i lost my copy of this article, is there anywhere where the black and white easily readable versions of the blueprints are availiable? i want to make the 21612 in ho scale. also what road numbers were they supposed to be again?

  2. Would like to build the Mikado in three quarter scale live steam. However at 78 years of age, with bad hands I may never get the job done. Now to get to work, first must try to read the prints off the computer screen. Then make drawings. Thanks to Classic Trains for the inspiring article.
