    I recently acquired an N scale GTEL 8500 big blow #10. I like to add photos of the real loco to my inventory list along with the model picture, but I have not been able to locate one for the #10. I have seen it on the UP roster and searched the internet, rail pic archives, UP site to no avail, any suggestions where I might look next?

    I looked all over everything I could get my hands on-that's a rarely photographed unit! Found one on Ebay, but it's a distant shot, can barely see it!

    Just for fun, I did some looking. Nothing found. Amazing how this unit attracted so few cameras. This has me wondering why?

    Wow, that's crazy!

    I have the number boards and builder plate from Milwaukee Road SD40-2 #190, but pics of it have been hard to find as well!

    I have two, both post 1980 in the "Lightning scheme", but tried finding pics earlier-no luck!:unsure:
