Looking for volunteers to review Timken / NP A1 Drawings

Scott,

I think I still have the Oscale artwork around someplace.  this is a restoration I did on a scratchbuilt loco by the late Bob Love, commissioned by the late Anthony Ambrose.  engine now is in the hands of the Timken people.

Scott:  My brother Brian at Cambridge Wooden Toys hand-built a model of the Timken and I think he has a ton of drawings and data he collected to do it.

I'll send him an email ...

Scott,

I suggest that you contact the Hikel brothers (Dave & Ted) at www.hikelogauge.com .

I'll bet Ted knows more about that NP version, #2626, than anybody.

For what it's worth, there are over 70 photos in the Ron Nixon collection at The Museum of the Rockies, which you can easily find by Google if you haven't already. Some of these include the Timken 1111 as it demonstrated on the NP, and later the NP2626 in coal and oil fired versions. The research library at NPRHA.org is another resource and you don't have to be a member to use it.

Thank you, Scott, for doing this project. I have it on order!  

We got lots of data, photos, builders drawings. The designer are digesting them and producing designs. We need someone with an eye for the details and history. What details, when, to review the REV1 drawings and get us to REV2.... until we feel the design is correct.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Scott Mann

A good "Rivet Counter" or three should fill the bill!
