      You can look at several through the following link...  Go to the web site below.  Run down to almost the end and open the 'Union Pacific (UP)' file and then its section on 'Locomotives'.  Click on locomotive numbers "0001 - 0999".  The 8500 hp turbines are # 1- 30, I believe there are about a dozen prototype photos in this section.

Ma & Pa 2-8-0
Bill's Train Shop
    2002 production.  "#41 was built by Baldwin in 1914; this class was the ‘big power’ on the road and saw service until retired in 1957.   #42 was built from the same plan, and looked this way until it was modified in 1929. If you model the Ma & Pa prior to 1929, buy two of this model!"
