<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Charlie: the most efficient source is a Locomotive Cyclopedia, either an original issue or one of the reproductions. Simmons and <SPAN>Boardman</SPAN> published these back in the steam days to assist people in designing, specifying or maintaining steamers. About 800-1000 pages, they had a listing of roughly 100 locomotives in the front section, roughly 600 pages of equipment advertising, injectors, head lamps, sanders, flue pipes, superheater piping and so on. In these will be cross section drawings and details about all of the components of systems and subsystems, including explanations of how they work- without the engineering/physics basis for function. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
