Building the Rio Grande K-27,  Volume 2 is HERE!K-27 General Arrangement

Volume 2 concludes the building of Kozo Hiraoka’s magnum-opus, the Rio-Grande K-27, mainly the tender, but also other smaller parts for the locomotive. It also covers tools, transporting the model, and tips on operation.

This book, 35 pages longer than the first volume, contains a large supplementary section that includes many previously unpublished drawings and new text that describes the engineering that goes into designing a successful live steam locomotive. If, as is rumoured, this is Kozo's last design, it must be said that he ends his career in a blaze of glory.
