Proposed but never built

Latest update 12-29-2009

These drawings are of the proposed steam locomotives that were never built. If help is forth-coming with dome styles, cab styles, and other details, I would consider producing a limited few.

This summary includes drawings for the Sumpter Valley/Uintah 2-6-6-2 frame.

This frame is the basis for the frames in the D&RGW 2-8-8-2s, RGS 2-8-8-2, and the ET&WNC 2-6-6-2 proposals.

Status from 12-29-2009

This is a rough CAD drawing of a proposed RGS 2-8-8-2 manufactured from two D&RGW K-27s.

Status from 12-27-2009

This is a rough CAD drawing of a 1927 proposed D&RGW 2-8-8-2 manufactured brand new. The folio sheet for this proposal said that the overall length of the locomotive and tender was to be 93' 3". When I created the CAD drawing, the total length of the locomotive was 97' 3". The tender seemed way too long for 97' so I removed four (4) feet from the tender length. The tender still looks long but not as bad as when inner axle to inner axle of the tender was 17'.

This is a rough CAD drawing of a post-1927 proposed D&RGW 2-8-8-2 based on using two class 113 standard gauge 2-8-0s.

This is an incomplete CAD drawing of a proposed ET&WNC 2-6-6-2. There were no dimensions on the cab and no tender at all. Maybe one of the tenders from #4-6 would have been used. I put a tender on it based on the rough dimensions of the new D&RGW narrow gauge 2-8-8-2 proposal above.

This is an incomplete CAD drawing of the Uintah/Sumpter Valley 2-6-6-2s. I have not had time to add the tender and boiler. This frame drawing is the starting point for the ET&WNC 2-6-6-2 frame details and the D&RGW 2-8-8-2s frame details.
