C&S 1903 Locomotive Folio Sheets

[Jim Courtney]

I just forwarded the scanned C&S 1903 Locomotive Folio Book to our moderator.  I am sure that if Darel can ever get Roper off the computer (always looking for Saturday snapshots), he will post them in the "Files" section in due course.

The 1903 Folio book is evidently the oldest surviving folio book for C&S locomotives.  I only have copies of sheets for the narrow gauge engines, though the original book had sheets for all the standard gauge engines of that era as well.

The class designations (B-3-C, B-4-D, etc.) weren't devised until later, so I added them to the file names for better identification.  Some locomotives (the rebuilt Cooke 4-10 and the Baldwin 63-70) have additional sheets, probably added to the book at a later date.

My originals are blue print copies, and the individual sheets scan variably, some more legibly than others.

There are no sheets for the Brooks Moguls (numbers 2 & 3) as they had been sold by 1903.  I don't know why the sheet for the Mason Bogie (number 1) is in the book, as it was off the roster by 1903.  I doubt anyone will complain that I have included it.

Next up, I'll start scanning my copy of C&S Folio No. 27, for freight cars, cabooses and MOW equipment.
