Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
Hey Everyone,
Does anyone have libraries, societies, and museums to reach out to for Baldwin drawings? I am looking for drawing information on a 70-C-9 Vanderbilt tender. I just reached out to the Sacramento Museum and the Southern Pacific Historical and Technical society, since this was for a Southern Pacific Locomotive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
After about 1940, Pennsylvania State Archives has an extensive collection of Baldwin Drawings. Before that I don't have any experience although I understand that the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University has a limited collection of earlier drawings.

Mr_Blond,
The Cal. State RR Museum Library does have the Erecting Card for the 70-C-9: https://csrm.andornot.com/en/permalink/techdrawing669
The instructions and form for ordering a copy can be found here: https://www.californiarailroad.museum/v ... rary/forms

I have used the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University in the past (2018 if I recall). It helped to know the Baldwin number of exactly what I was looking for.

Re: Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
I'm curious what loco you are building that this will go behind? The 70-C-9 was the cut down version that usually was behind an 0-6-0 switcher, but some times found behind a consol or mogul.Mr_Blonde wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:37 pm Hey Everyone,

Search the archives, this has been covered previously.

Doug,
I am building a Southern Pacific Mogul number 1629.
Thanks everyone who has posted recommended resources. I reached out to CSRRM and they only have a drawing that I already own. I will reach out to the others shortly.

Re: Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
Here is a in service pic of the engine with a 70-C-9 tender behind it that a friend sent me and gave me permission to post to the board.
Note the over sized 20" head light. It makes the smokebox front look rather small.

Re: Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
Thanks Doug! I do not have that particular picture. It's always nice to find additional reference photos. Is the headlamp a Sunbeam? Sometime in its service it went from that headlamp to a Pyle National. I am using the Pyle National since I don't have to make it from scratch.
Re: Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
The headlight on the SP loco is likely a pre-1920 Pyle-National 20".
The odd number boards are very typical of early P-N lights, so's the front lens door.

Re: Baldwin Locomotive Drawing Resources
David,
I'm interested in your comment on the head light being an early Pyle National. Do you have any references to early Pyle products? I was told years ago by the retired shop foreman of Eugene, that these head lights were shop made on the SP. The few I have been able to examine had no identification plates on them, nor did I see an holes left from attaching one. With the construction I observed, it seemed likely the were shop made.
The image I posted had no info on the date, location, or the photographer
I have attached a diagram for the M4 class and 70-c-9 tender that were also supplied by my friend that supplied the image.

Doug
