Have you tried the Norfolk & Western Historical Society? https://www.nwhs.org/

Hi,

you will find there everything you need.
My Dad, a Friend of us and me building the big three, class A,Y6b and the J,we bought our Drawings there.
That Archiv is a treasure chest. If you will, have a look on the build log part on this Board, you will find a report about the building phase of the A and the J .

All the best from Germany
Chris

My 2 cents on the N&W Historical Society. I've obtained a couple of hundred drawings from them and other archives. Their web page is one of the easiest to use, they are prompt, and are among the most reasonably priced. In addition to N&W drawings, the collection includes some that they have drawn for in-house fabrication of repair parts for accessories from former steam industry suppliers.

I obtained copies of the N & W 2-6-6-4 prints from the steam shops in Birmingham before they were closed
