Hello everyone. I am looking for drawings/blueprints of the ALCO 244 prime mover, preferably the 12 cylinder version, model doesn't matter. Where might I find something like this? Thanks - Jared

Are you looking for a line drawing of the side of the engine or a end drawing showing the outline of the parts. I have a end drawing showing the different parts. Send me an e-mail offline and I can send you a copy of what I have. It is on letter size paper so it can be mailed as an attachment to you.

What I'm looking for is a full set of blueprints, detailing every part and every dimension, something that could be used to reproduce parts. Thanks - Jared

I don't have those. I am not even sure who might have that kind of blueprints. What parts do you need? Why not just search and buy them used?

The remaining Alco 244 engine drawings, along with material relating to the locomotives themselves, were disposed of when GE purchased what remained of the d/e loco business from Bombardier.

Oh yeah! Now THAT's what I'm talking about!

I wonder what it'd take to get them into Google Books...

Actually, What I'm looking to do is reproduce the parts in a slightly smaller size, I already know where to find all the 244 parts I could ever handle, should the need ever arise again. Thank you all for your help thus far - Jared

Does anyone know of erection drawings of a 244? Maybe this would help.
