    Can anyone send a picture of a Great Northern Pacific, a fairly modern version, but with out all the pumps and other gee-gaws GN stuck on the smokebox. GNHS is no help in these matters.

    As an aside, MPHS is no help w/questions even when you are a member.
    As a matter of fact, UPHS is by far the most helpful, and now C&O fans on Trainboard.
    Thanks

    Petey, did NP ever have any locomotives that didn't have all the hardware attached to the front of the smokebox? I don't have any pix of my own of ANY NP engines, and most of their Pacifics were built in the early 1900's according to Darryl VanNort's steamlocomotives.com.
    I did find one in an Alco book, the engine looks very clean, built in 1905. Take a look at Darryl's site:
    Steamlocomotives :D

    OOps, my ancient eyes just completely ignored the word "Great" and went to "Northern Pacific". Sorry. Great Northern is what you want. I found a site that has some stuff. Here is a pic from GNGOAT's site of a class H Pacific:

    And his site is accessible at:
