Hello Everyone; I would like to build a model of one of the 2-10-0s in F-scale, 1:20.3. I am thinking of doing the oil burner version if anyone has measurements, builders prints, etc. Or if someone knows where I can buy a book covering them that would be a big help. I am into live steam and since I have no place for a ride on railroad why not make one for the flower bed! In fact, I found this group by accident while looking for information of them. Thanks, Rob Wright smokebox
Rob, The drawing is on page 13 of Frisco Modelers Information Group (FMIG) Newsletter No 5. The major dimensions are included in the excel spread sheet steam roster. All sorts of stuff is downloadable from frisco.org. Just search for it. Doug
A drawing of a "Russian" 2-10-0 decapod appears in Model Railroader Cyclopedia: Vol. 1, Steam Locomotives by Linn Wescott and published by Kalmbach. You may be able to find a copy on eBay, Amazon or some other internet auction site. Rich
Hello Again. Does anyone know if the frame for a 2-10-0 and a 2-10-2 are any different other than just the part for the trailing truck? I have struck out on hunting down the 2-10-0 plans and the ride on scale folks only have 2-10-2 plans. I am really looking forward to building a live steam Russian and there will be a few extra for sale if anyone is interested. Once again these will run on F-scale standard gauge. If this project goes through, that is ," I really want one though"! And there will be a move to Ft. Knox, KY sometime before I start on them! Rob Wright smokebox
I have two views of the plans in a photoshop program which are 3 and 4 MB. I will send them to you directly via private e-mail address, not through Frisco.org. Does anyone else want a copy? The following .ipg files are made from expanding parts of the photoshop file.
I joined the group a while ago and had a question. I volunteer at the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) at Union, Illinois, and I work on Frisco 2-10-0 SLSF 1630. I am looking for any Frisco Russian Decapod blue prints that still exist. We have some in our collection, but are missing some. Does Frisco.org own any prints? Or do you know of any groups that own prints that can be copied? Thanks!
Sorry, I do not have any prints for the 2-10-0 SLSF 1630. I am interested in the SLSF 1630 as it is one of the decapods that my Grandfather ran working as an engineer for the Eagle Pitcher (EP) Railroad in Northeast Oklahoma. I am looking for any photographs of the engine while it was in service on the EP. Specifically, I am looking for a picture of my grandfather in or around any of the decapods. Thanks for any help!
Jason, Closest I can find right now is this. http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/frisco-russian-decapods-slsf-1613-1632.3141/ I have not looked at some of the scanned locomotive diagram books on the site yet, but there may be more.
