There are four pages on this class (1801-1819) in Collias’ Mopac Power. For others who might be curious, they were built as hill power for the Tip Top grade in 1901-03 but ended up in various other places where there were grades but not that much need for speed. Atchison and the grade up out of the Missouri River valley is one.

There exists a set of MoPac steam locomotive diagrams somewhere, but I don’t know if it has ever been widely published.

Thank for that. I have MoPac Power, but the info is awful sketchy on dimensions and so forth. The diagrams would be the cat’s pajamas if could find a set.
