I found some good diagrams for the ACE 3000 locomotive for anyone who may want to build it. Here is the link http://www.trainweb.org/tusp/ace_det.html and here is some more info http://www.trainweb.org/tusp/ult.html. NOTE read all the sub links there are some interesting photos and diagrams it is all a half a day reading and looking at photos. This page is for anyone who likes steam and the SGS proposed locomotive. Now only if somebody had a good link to the C&O 614s diagrams that would be all I need to make my dream complete of building these for MSTS.
I've had the ACE 3000 drawings since they came out in Model Railroader back when Ross Rowland was hoping to make it a reality...That's the good news.The bad news is that I really don't plan a model. A) too much already in queue, B) Steamers are more complex and harder to build. It's taken me a long while just to animate the valve gear for a simple 4-6-0. Once I find a way to "mass produce" the animation it may go faster, but I still don't think you'll see a slew of steamers coming from my direction for a while yet.In regards to 416, are you looking for drawings so you can build or hoping someone else will? I have tons of drawings (don't know about 416 specifically) I can look through and send you, if I have what you need.Frank MusickMoving America into the 19th Century! www.kelticsylk.com
I did not ask you to make the ACE 3000 I looking for any one who may want to do the locomotive. I was also looking for really good diagrams for C&O Greenbrier 4-8-4 614 it is one of the best 4-8-4s out there and the last one of it's kind in the world. Here is a link to some photos http://www.toytrains1.com/northern.htm and this is the big water car she got in 1997 1998 some diagrams for this is also needed. And the old tool car she pulls around.
