First Steps
The following images show:
- Original image as scanned from Stindt's book "The Northwestern
Pacific Railroad, Vol 1" (c. 5700x1500 pixels).
- Reference image from which the major measurements for the
general view drawing was defined. From the previous image that has been
perspective corrected and filtered (to reduce the print screening) using
PhotoShop. Note that the correction holds good only for the vertical plane
at the wheels.
- General View drawing - October 2000, (with some "place holders"
e.g. tender trucks).
Notes: 1 - Headlamp and other details are as per working NWP locomotive
(see Stindt) rather than ALCO's configuration. 2 - This drawing was made
before I obtained the general arrangement drawings and builder's
information.
- General View drawing - Updated February 2002.
Please Note: The above images are 900 pixels wide as below
this resolution the line drawing details become unreadable.
General Arrangement Drawings.
I have been fortunate to get the following two GA drawings from the
NWPRRHS
archives:
