Information Request - JB Silvis Locomotive

From: "William T. Shenton" shentonw@bellsouth.net

In the paper, J.B. Silvis Union Pacific's Nomadic Photographer, there is a picture of UP Locomotive #5, a 4-4-0T. Do you know of any drawings for this locomotive, who built the locomotive, or other information that I could use to build a model of this engine. I have built a model of the photographers car and now desire to build an engine model.

UP 4-4-0T #5 was built by Schenectady. I'd suggest starting with a Mantua/Tyco General. CalScale made brass domes which you might find.

I suggest you try Iron Horses to Promontory by Gerald Best. I personally do not have any information.
