McFarlane-Eggers Locomotives

MattM
McFarlane-Eggers Locomotives have been the subject of my latest hyperfocus. Since they were based out of Denver and originally started in Central City, and one ran on (the remains of) the Gilpin Tramway, plus several lineside mining railroads on the C&S, I'd figure I'd share this here.

I have been compiling a list of known locomotives built by them. This list is in no way even remotely close to complete, as I estimate they built hundreds of locomotives. This was Colorado's most prolific locomotive builder, and they built locomotives from 1917 until at least 1955. Any input or additional locomotives l've missed would be excellent to add.
The next question is if anyone knows if records actually survive. I'm also curious about the history and present day status of the late John Robinson's M-E locomotive. I've been told that he was able to thoroughly find the history of it.

Fascinating to see all the variations of machines based on Ford products. Thanks for sharing!
