I'm scratch building a F40PH Amtrak engine in G scale. Again I'm on the hunt to capture the details as best that I can. I've been looking at online photos for at least a week now. I can't find close up pictures of the air brake rigging from the air tanks on the engine. I would like to detail the lines and other stuff that I see under these engines. I'm getting good help on another forum from members. I see a picture of another's scratch build that even has these details. I would just like to know better what I am modeling exactly.
On a long shot, does anyone have close up pictures of the middle (sides) of these engines that I could see?
I've looked at about every picture on Hebner's and most on Railroad picture archives .net
I did find some nice info on the web to help me understand the changes that I see were made to the engine over the years.

I have several books of engines by Brian Solomon and others. They don't go into detail of these engines very much. Some of the best pictures of these that I can find on the web are very old and from a distance using older cameras.
