Hi,

I am looking for two Baldwin erecting cards:

Class 38 4-4-0 - Baldwin erecting card 74
Class 40 2-6-0 - Baldwin erecting card 95

I have looked at the DeGolyer Library web site but can not find any mention of Baldwin erecting cards.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find Baldwin erecting cards 74 and 95 or how to find them at the DeGolyer Library web site?

Thanks.

Doug,
Did you see this page on the DeGolyer site:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/smu/00052/smu-00052.html
Under the heading:
Detailed Description of the Collection
Series 1:
Engineering drawings
circa 9720 drawings

Read this section to add to your Baldwin class description and then at the bottom of that section you will see these links:
Erecting card drawings: circa 4017 drawings. Arranged by railroad name, BLW class, road number.
PDF of erecting drawings sorted by railroad name
PDF of erecting drawings sorted by class number
Detail drawings: circa 5,703 drawings. Arranged by railroad name and BLW class when that information is available.
PDF of detail drawings sorted by railroad name
PDF of detail drawings sorted by class number

Hope this helps

Hi Mike,

I appreciate the help. Unfortunately, the erecting cards are not listed.

The two items I am looking for are narrow gauge D&RG(W) locomotives.

Class 38 4-4-0 - Baldwin erecting card 74
Class 40 2-6-0 - Baldwin erecting card 95

In all the listed D&RG(W) items there are no 4-4-0s and no 2-6-0s.
All that is listed in D&RG(W) are 0-6-0, 2-8-0, 4-6-0, and 4-8-2 and a lot of proposals but nothing else.

Darned.
