M10000 Photographs

[verheyen]

When I'm not working on my various layouts or running the trains I'm a bookbinder and conservator, and if possible I like to combine the two... Examples would be my card modeled structures at http://web.syr.edu/~pdverhey/eisenbahn/index.shtml and a set of two bindings I did for a friend... There are more at http://www.philobiblon.com/pdvgal/pdvgal.htm

 .

What I want to do is create a one of a kind "artist's book" based on Virginia Lee Burton's classic Choo Choo in which an impetuous little steam engine gets into trouble and needs to be saved by the oh so glamorous M10000 (Union Pacific, but not id'd as such) streamliner. I've looked online and haven't been able to come up with much. Does anyone have any sources/references of where I could find good images, preferably of it in motion and from the frontish side...? I can work with images online, but they'd need to be on the larger side (800+ pixels on the long side).

Many thanks, Peter
