Anyone here have indepth knowledge about how to tell if a locomotive engineering drawing is old, repro or somewhere in between? Know where I can find a link showing pic's?

 

[JOETHECROW]

No,...but it sounds pretty interesting...

I do have these early drawings....found in the wall of an old local inn...They date from 1890's thru 1920's...

Nice.

I picked up a large one inch equals one foot scale drawing of a locomotive, twenty-two by fifty-seven inches. It looks good in a lot of ways, sepia tone ink, possibly linen paper. Not much in the avenue of details but enough to make a CW buff or RR collector interested if it's old. Late in the day acqusition so pic's if anyone's interested tomorrow at earliest.

 

[JOETHECROW]

I for one, would love to see it.

 

[stumpknocker]

Yes please post some pictures. I would love to see your drawings of the locomotive.

Indeed, pictures and history!. One wonders why it would be kept in a wall?

 

[Buffalo Hunter]

It was professionaly framed the frame measures 22" X 54". I shot some pictures of it outside in natural light today, the size comparisions came out well enough but not much else. Notice how the frame was shored up to keep from breaking in the second pic.
