Thanks; these are great.  I was also hoping to get a view of the tubes in place inside the boiler so any additional pictures will be appreciated.  When I get my model done, I will post.  Thanks, Var

Just google "locomotive boiler" and look at the images... here are some of my favorites from the search, the first two are of C&NW workers in the front end of a boiler:

This last one is an overall view of a boiler in a shop:

 Hope that helps!

Can anyone point me to pictures of steam locomotive boilers undergoing rebuild (ideally, in a roundhouse)?  I am interested in modeling the look into the front-end of the engine and would like to get it approximately right.  Thanks, Var
