Hi guys! I'm working on another vintage American steam
locomotive for BVE. This time it's the NYC #999 Empire State
Express, as well as earlier versions of 4-4-0's. If anyone knows a
source of images for either the boiler backhead or cab views out
the front, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!Christopher Tarana

Well, if you're going for vintage I'd check the Time Life series of books, of which there is one called "The Railroaders" that shows a backhead view of a locomotive (from the wild west, but the best vintage pic I can think of). I can get you backhead and out-the-cab shots of our 4-4-0, which was built in '62. If not 100% accurate it'd be pretty close.LMK,

>LMK,
>Blake I think that would be great, thanks Blake! You can email them to
me at tarana@bluemarble.net. Just let me know who I should credit
in the documentation. They don't have to be perfect, I'd just like people to get a feel
for what it was like. There seems to be almost as large a variation in
the 4-4-0's as there were railroads back then. Thanks, Blake! Christopher Tarana
