Mike: I believe NESCO (New England Steam Corporation) has a Paypal account. I should know that for certain. Anyway, if you send me your email address I will send you what we have scanned at this time.

Just scanned a blueprint for ALCO type "B" trucks, giving measurements. Quite a collection of MEC, Guilford, and Pan Am paint scheme drawings.

I’m interested in S2 drawings. Particularly, the Blunt (Blount?) trucks.

Be careful of asking for a donation in exchange for something of value if you are a non-profit. It could get you sideways with the IRS. A receipt for a true donation should include a statement saying nothing was given in exchange for the donation.

Just added big scan of Plymouth 0-4-0 Type ML shop switcher. All views and measurements very clearly marked.
Also Ingersoll-Rand oil-electric painting diagram, with some measurements.

I wish to mention again, five scans of ALCO HH-660 are available as well. There was some interest in that design locomotive mentioned earlier.

Thank you your generous beliefs. I share them.

I appreciate that kind of support by agreement. There is no value in squirreling away knowledge. As a retired science teacher, I can only offer that we get smarter when we share, and build upon that platform.
The only donations I request are those determined by the person who is requesting the PDF. This allows us to scan more material and make it available.
Again, thank you.
