I am thinking about another American type camelback. The LVRR one came out Ok so I think I'll try again. This time a CRR of NJ 4-4-0c D4 class.
* . I am looking at one of a small group built By Baldwin as standard 4-4-0's in June 1882. Then rebuilt at Ashley and in June of 1898 immerged as 4-4-0 camelback still with the number 172. One year latter it would be renumbered 545. This is the one I want to model for I like the different cab and the locos use of the old style slide for the piston rod to main connection. This makes the drive I will use look accurate for the model. I have a good engineer side photo of #567. One that I can use for measurements if no elevation drawing is found. #567 is a 1903 number. In 1899 it was #545, and previous to that #172. As rebuilt at Ashley it may have become a D4 class. I don't know when this form of classification began. It went into Ashley a Baldwin 4-4-0 CRRofNJ class 8 47/34 and came out a 8 54/40c. I do not understand that old type of classification system. I found a drawing for a D9s class for engines 558 and 559. Does anybody have any info on the D4 class 4-4-0c. I have a angled photo of #549. this number is a 1899 number. It would become 564 in 1903. It shows me the angled front fireman's side. It looks brand new so I think it is as delivered from Ashley shops in Dec of 1897 after its RO rebuild. This is the same rebuild the 567 also received 6 months later completed in June of 1898 at the Ashley Shops.
The photo of 549 is from the Jersey Central Story, on page 20.
The photo for 567 is from Locomotives 1 to 999 of the Jersey central, on page 11.
Another photo of 567 from north east railfan.net
Here is the link to it.
