Did you know that you can put together a list of blueprints that went with any Baldwin Loco built after 1938.
The “Pennsylvania State Archives” has all of the Baldwin blueprints and information that existed at the end of business in the mid 1950’s and this collection goes back to 1938 when the Baldwin cataloging system changed dramatically. Nothing exists in this collection that was built prior to 1938.
A person wanting to have these drawing lists, which are required to compile himself a full list of drawings for any 1938+ Baldwin locomotive, is faced with the prospect of having to purchase the microfilm for $100, then either spend about $300-$500 for a decent microfilm reader or go to a public library that offers the use of a microfilm reader every time he wanted to do some research on his microfilm list.
There is a group planning to buy a copy of these drawing lists on microfilm and have the lists professionally transferred onto DVD. We want to gather as many people as possible that are all interested in having these lists. Everyone is going to pitch in a small amount (depending on how many people participate and the cost split equally between each member). Each project member will receive a finished DVD containing the blueprint lists mailed to your continental USA address for your participation in the project. Those living outside the Continental USA can add a few bucks to cover their particular shipping costs. If we can get 20 people to participate the cost will be about $20 each.
Those interested should PM me here. I’ll keep track of the number or participants and let you all know your cost prior to asking for your portion of the project. There will be no profit on this group project.
Below is a partial list of all the Baldwin “narrow gauge” locomotives that were built after 1938. Every locomotive listed here along with probably 15 times more standard gauge locomotives would be able to be searched and you could then compile a list of drawings for all those locomotives.

In addition to these there were also quite a number of electric and diesel locomotives listed in both standard gauge and narrow gauge .

also, “Narrow Gauge rivet counters” take note;
Anyone buying a copy of these lists specifically for the “narrow gauge” Baldwin locomotives needs to be a member of a new forum dedicated to the search for narrow gauge railroad blueprints and information, and we are going to feature super accurate Narrow Gauge projects. This is not a “model” site, it is about accurate prototype information, so small scale modelers will not find anything here and are not allowed to join based on their small scale modeling alone.
