    By chance, does the society or anyone have drawing(s) for the doghouse?

    Not that I’m aware of. Maybe the photo will stir up one.

    I know Joe Collias had molds for the doghouses. I purchased one from him many years ago. Wonder if they are still around?

    I believe his castings were made by PRecision Scale but they are no longer in business. Would think someone could replicate them through Shapeways.

    With good plans, I am sure Shapeways could do these. Jerry

    I have noticed that not all dog houses are the same, even on the same railroad. The one pictured has iron bar instead of solid step on side with peaked roof instead of round. I have been making mine like the one on the consolidation with the USRA tender not the clear vision tender. Should I rethink this since I am getting ready to make two more?

    MP doghouses were the same as T&P’s, Brass doghouses were offered by Pecos River Brass when they built the T&P 2-10-4’s. I bought a few to use on some 2-8-2 USRA’s I had converted to oil. I think I still have one left.

    The Precision Scale doghouse was a D&RGW wood doghouse.
