Needed - Drawing/sketch of Mercer Smoke Box Saddle

Post by gwrdriver »

From re: News of Return of Mercer

Rather than fabricate one, I'm hoping I may be able to adapt a Mercer Camelback smoke box saddle casting to resurrect a long-ignored locomotive project.
I don't have the casting so I need the dimensions of the saddle to make that determination. Even a hand-drawn sketch of the basic dimensions would tell me what I need to know. Can anyone help?

Gwrdriver,

I have a set of drawings which likely show you what you need. Send me a PM and I'll give you some images.
