Re: E-pay

Hi Chris,
the drawings are for a 1/2" scale Hudson type loco designed by L R
Miller back in the late 1930's. He was a professional engineer based
in Dodge City,Kansas, and sold the blueprints and a complete set of
castings for the loco. I presume Mr Miller is no longer with us so I
don't know who will hold the copyright.
These drawings have been on sale for some time now so quite a lot have
been sold. Obviously the castings are no longer available which would
make building one difficult unless you could produce your own patterns.
John
