If you have the loco I think that you do (it came in Century streamlined and non streamlined versions; mechanically identical, so far as I know) there won't be a lot of documentation on it. First of all, it was very simple, and secondly Williams did not issue much paperwork, probably. There may be instruction sheets around - check eBay; maybe somebody will have a photo of the sheet in his listing.
But - I'll bet that someone here will have something, if such exists.
I have a couple of these, mostly as interesting shelf items, but I have used one (Dreyfuss Century type) as a streamlined shroud parts source for another project; I'll look through my instruction sheet files to see if anything is there.
D500.....thanks for the help...can you send any pics of the tender front...there is a small curved piece with 1 large hole and 2 small holes...i don't know where to put it...I also retapped all the mounting holes to US thread...I thought the small piece fit the loco but no...thanks for any help...Joe
Joe,
This early Wms Century tender shell was stripped to the brass before I got it on eBay years ago - for a project, yet to appear. The stripper, whatever it was, left mostly a nice matte finish, BTW. I'm assuming the Century version is what tou seek?
And the rear:
