Hi,
I have a MTH BigBoy that I would like to add the ispection lights too. I know the Lionel one has them. I'm having a heck of a time finding a pic of them and where they are located on the engine. I have the PSC catalog and there are a lot lights in it but not sure which ones are right.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Ralph

Just spitballin here but I would think by the Nathan DV7 lubricators.
Just a suggestion, you might try and find the book "Big Boy", by William Kratville. That book should have close-up detail construction photos of the UP 4000 class locomotives. One of the largest railroad book sellers, Ron's Books, out of New York, should have "Big Boy" books.
Contact one of the folks preparing 4014 for its restoration move. I believe they have a website.

The "folks preparing 4014 for its restoration move." are actually the Union Pacific Steam Crew, and yes they do have an "information up-date" site, but not to answer questions. In fact, I seriously doubt that ANYONE from the UP RR Steam Crew would bother with such questions, since they have so much work to do on #4014.
However, you might try contacting the Union Pacific Historical Society, at www.UPHS.org
Lot's of UP DVD's and dedicated BB books with photos. HW has the best suggestion. Check the books, it will prove quite valuable if you're in to detailing.
