Title: USRA locomotive drawings
Post by: nickco201 on April 17, 2011, 12:52:45 PM
  Does anyone know if there are prototype drawings out there for the USRA heavy 2-10-2 and the USRA heavy 4-8-2? Maybe in the the railroad encyclopedia that model railroader put out?   I have the encyclopedia by mainline modelers and they are not included in them.
  Thanks!

the Model Railroader cyclopedia volume 1 does have a drawing of the USRA heavy 4-8-2 but not the 2-10-2

nick-

You can google these and you should find something. Also, go
to railroad historical societies of lines which had these locos
and you might find a treasure trove of drawings.
