I have a very good book on the history of the US steam navy up through WW1. I know there are quite a few cuts of trunk guided engines like that, I can scan them.....if you're patient..... Dave

Dave Thanks for the offer but I suspect the US engines are of Ericsson's monitor type, though they themselves seem not to have been modelled much, other than Rich Carlstedt's fabulous example.
My determination for engine size is made by taking the smallest screw on the engine, and dropping it on the floor, letting it roll under the workbench.If I can find it again easily, then the engine is the right size for me.
