Does anyone have access to or know where i can find elevation/erecting drawings as well as section drawings of the Pennsy J1 2-10-4?

Thanks

Maybe these folks.  $22 doesn't seem outrageous if they really are what they claim (digital reproductions of the original
erecting drawing, in the same full size as the original drawing).

What's wrong with a physical copy?  You can still use it to build a model.  That drawing is probably over 12 feet long and you'd have to roll it out on the floor, but it would still be an accurate drawing.

Hard to scan into a computer to turn it into a 3D file.

A large scale drawing can be scanned into a large format pdf file at Fedex, for a fee of course.

Let me take a look at home in my books.  I'll let you know.

Scanned a number of full size erecting drawings. Biggest problem was taking the time to align them so they ran straight. Drawings were almost as wide as the scanner. Surprisingly quick even set to the highest resolution.

Thank you John!
Like what's been said already, I'm trying to not have to scan them if I don't have to. If it comes down to it, I will but I figured someone would have a digitized copy with how popular the Pennsy is.

Okay, how about this.  The July 1989 Mainline Modeler has drawings of the J1 done by Robert Hundman, who is pretty darn good at making locomotive drawings.  And you can get an old copy of that issue off eBay right now for about 6 bucks.

Guessing this is too crude:  http://prr.railfan.net/diagrams/PRRdiagrams.html?diag=j1_j1a.gif&sel=ste&sz=sm&fr

Reaching waaaaay back, RMC Railroad Model Craftsman Magazine, July 1960 has drawings.
