I used the original specifications that were drawn up by the UP and given to Rogers M&LW (and very kindly sent to me by Jim Wilke), along with using as much as possible of UP119 and some parts, such as the smoke stack, from Jupiter. I also managed to take some fairly accurate measurements from a set of pictures of the original Buffalo and Gorilla photographed at Rocklin and Truckee. So all in all, I'd say the model is just about as accurate as possible despite not having the complete set of detailed drawings of the original.
