Is anybody able to share detailed specifications for any Climax locomotives?

In particular I would be interested in boiler related specifications such as the number and diameter of fire tubes, grate area, heating area, etc.

I have researched a number of Climax sites, but to no avail at this time.

Any other details would be a bonus.

Thanks

I made a Climax lokey many years ago (MSTS years) for MSTS and managed to get running fairly true to the original. The particular Climax I based my model on was imported into New Zealand circa 1912. It is still in existence. It was gauged to 3 feet 6 inches, NZ's standard gauge.

I don't have access to my reference library, but I believe the released model might still be at trainsim.com's library. The engineering file may be of use to you.

Cheers Captain Bazza.

Thanks for the reply.

I was after some info that typically wasn't included in MSTS files, so sadly I wasn't able to get what I wanted from the ENG file.

But thanks anyway.
