Wally, Try this site: www.tedatum.com/thms/Click on "Bulletin Board" in the Index and find "Ed Hume" and click on that. There are some pictures of a completed A-3 model and one picture of the "real" thing. Good luck, Rich |

Thanks Ibrich.
I have been wondering where Kozo got his information for this engine.
Is there a prototype of this engine someplace?

It is interesting to know that the A3 had an enclosed cab, not entirely open in the back. A fellow sent me some zeroxes of the A3 and A4 switchers, along with A5 stuff. I Could scan the stuff.

The only information Kozo had on the A3 was the scaled drawing in the Kalmbach Locomotive Cyclopedia. He told me this during a visit. It turns out this drawing shows a later model tender than the A3 had.
The first A3, from 1895, was numbered 6 and was probably lettered P.W.B.R.R. on the tender for the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore, a branch of the PRR. My source on the latter is some old issues of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society Bulletin.

Let me make my own nit picker correction - amend that to it was probably lettered "P. W. & B. R. R."

All the photos I've seen of the A3 are all the same  Haven't seen anything new or different. I think Kozo did a good job considering what he had before him and regardless of it not being an exact replica since the original had a bellpaire firebox and stephenson valve gear. It makes for a wonderful project either way. Ken- |
