Sparkyjay31 -- Are you familiar with any of the four books by Bruce D. Heald, published by Arcadia, part of their "Images of Rail" series? -- Arcadiapublishing.com --Each volume is titled (no suprise) Boston & Maine, and the subtitles are as follows: 1.Locomotives; 2. In the 19th Century; 3. In the 20th Century; and, 4. Trains and Services. I discovered one of these volumes in my state public library system, and aquired it and the rest off Amazon.<br /><br />Each volume is packed solid with great photographs of locomotives, rolling stock, MOW equipment and wonderful historical scenes -- GREAT inspiration for modeling.<br /><br />A quick flip through the pages shows a huge variety of markings for the B&M: Numbers on the cab, numbers on the tenders, earlier engines with names on the cabs (the"Adams," "Pride," Diana," etc.<br /><br />I am sure that you would find some pictures of some locos that would answer your questions.<br /><br />Also, although they are not easy to come by (and they are definately NOT cheap), try to hunt up some of the books about Boston & Maine by Robert Willoughby Jones. Maybe a couple of decades after the time period that you are looking for, but the color photgraphs of steam are superb.<br /><br />Hope this is some help! Calfpasture
