STEAM LOCOMOTIVE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS RR 2-8-2 Mikado
Click on picture for large view.
We are offering this set of drawings for a B&O RR 2-8-2 Mikado type loco B&O class Q-4. They are original blueprints printed from original tracing linens at various times all before 1950. The drawings are dated in the 1920's with various revisions through the years. The prints are in a roll, some of which are folded. They are all legible and clean. There is some shop wear, wrinkling and edge frazzles. A few have small tears and crumples. Most are in very good condition. The major large drawings-the loco side, cross-sections and boiler details-are legible and bright and suitable for presentation or framing.
Drawings included are:
1. Loco Side Elevations 24 x 96
2. Loco Sections 24 x 96
3. Boiler Side & End Elevations 39 x 108

The set appears to be complete. But not knowing what a complete set is, we cannot guarantee that everything is there. The set is bound with brass binding tabs.
The B&O Q's were built in large numbers, mostly by Baldwin, and were an important multi-purpose loco for many years. Many survived well into the diesel era.
It is very rare to find such a comprehensive set of drawings. The set is very suitable for construction of a live steam model and includes details important to the maintenance and repair of the prototype. We were fortunate to find this in the estate of a collector who was actively gathering material during the transition from steam to diesel.
The drawings will be shipped insured in a protected roll. Watch this site for other rare original railroad technical literature from the late steam era.

The set is comprehensive. We don't know what a complete set is so we cannot guarantee that everything is there but it appears to lack only boiler details. The set is bound with brass binding tabs.
The B&O S's were built in large numbers, mostly by Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, and were an important heavy freight loco for many years. Many survived well into the diesel era.
It is very rare to find such a complete set of drawings. The set is very suitable for construction of a live steam model and includes details important to the maintenance and repair of the prototype. We were fortunate to find this in the estate of a collector who was actively gathering material during the transition from steam to diesel.
The drawings will be shipped insured in a protected roll.
