With so many prolific photographers on this forum, I am hoping some has one or more top views of Pennsy 1223 which is now restored and residing at the Pennsylvania RR Museum of Pennsylvania. I have many photos from various sources however a good top view showing the cab roof and tender deck is proving to be elusive. I'm building a model of this engine as best I can and would appreciate a couple photos to help make it a bit more accurate if possible.
Thank you
Bob

Joe, Thanks for your efforts. Many nice photos but unfortunately my specific interest is of Pennsy 1223 which is a D16sb class 4-4-0. They have it on display in the museum mentioned in my original post. There is a walkway over the locomotive display on which people can see them from the top. I'm hoping someone may have take some pictures from above this particular engine...would be appreciated for sure.

Kelly, WOW you made my day for sure! Exactly the views I hoped for. I just knew someone had such photos with the museum being such a valuable resource and popular tourist destination. It's not easy to get all angles of a locomotive especially top view since they were commonly photographed from lower angles.
Thank you so much!

If it's any help, in the movie HELLO DOLLY No. 1223 is filmed from above as she emerges from a tunnel at Garrison, NY, and runs under a bridge. She has a fanciful paint scheme, but most details should be intact. These scenes take place near the end of a song - Put On Your Sunday Clothes.
