Steam Locomotive

[EE]

Has anyone here built a steam locomotive? Can you recommend a good place to get accurate drawings or plans or other good resources?

Who ever distributes Model Engineer magazine probably sells the books on making locomotives that where serialized.

Tee publishing is probably another place.

Village press.
