Folks,

On the off chance that Sunset models actually used a specific prototype
for their HO Scale H8 I am in search of H8 photos that show the following
specific features (all on the same loco <G>!):

1) Inside steam pipes (classes H8a, H8c, H8sa, H8sc)
2) cross compound air pump, fireman's side
3) a steam line on the fireman's side for clearing snow and ice from switches
4) blowdown muffler

The model also has a 70F70E tender with passenger style rear steps, but I
am suspicious that this is not a prototypical match.

I've searched many of my books, plus the North East Rails web site with no
luck, so I'm hoping that perhaps one of you has a photo of this loco...

Regards
Bruce
