Its been a while since I last asked a question, and this time its not passenger car related.  I was wondering if anyone knows of any diagrams of the purposed M3 2-10-0 that the N&W was looking at building around the time that they decided that the Mallets could do the work that they needed them to do.  I have read discussions about these purposed steamers in the past and would like to learn a little more about them.  Seems like I read somewhere that they were going to be similar to the PRR's 2-10-0s... can anyone tell me anything more?
