Idea - Can take the 040 parts and rearrange to other wheel arraignments. Need a slightly larger driver - simply shrink on a larger tire, etc.

Hey Bill Shields? Why not link to the thread you did when you started your camel back research?

Re: Camelbacks
A friend of mine is rebuilding his Reading A5a Camelback 0-4-0 and wants to number it such that it doesn't duplicate another A5a running out there in the wild. I have been scouring the web and have come up with these numbers for both live steam and motorized Reading A5a's in our scales. If I've missed your locomotive by number, please consider posting a photo and listing your locomotive's number. These are only 0-4-0's made popular by Dave Sclavi's castings, now under new ownership.

Re: Camelbacks
1171 2 3 4 were all used at one time..i saw them...not sure where they are now...so you may want to include those missing from your list. These were prior to Dave's involvement with the project.
Too many things going on to bother listing them.
Re: Camelbacks
Updated list, thank you Bill!

That was way back before the internet, bulletin boards or CAD. While I finally drew him up in AutoCAD is started on paper.Lovesthedrive wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 7:35 pm Hey Bill Shields? Why not link to the thread you did when you started your camel back research?
Besides I have moved on to a more interesting project that is keeping me busy designing and cutting. Want to get it running by PLS anniversary later this year (hopefully)

Re: Camelbacks
Updating this list on behalf of a colleague. If you own a Reading A5a Camelback 0-4-0, would you please contribute to this database.
Would you cite the locomotive number, scale, wheel gauge, current owner's name, and location or state.
Ex:
1179 1.5" scale 7.25" R. Glueck Maine
If I get enough responses, I'll put these into an Excel file. I should advise you, these will likely be published by a parts supplier.
Thank you for assisting. These little engines are very popular and almost as ubiquitous as Allen Moguls.
