Welcome to the group. Most everyone has answered all your questions so far, but
in addition to looking up pictures of prototypes in cyclopedia this or Model
Railroading catalogue that check out all the web pages that have been anounced
in this news group. They tend to give you ideas and inspire you.
I think my models have gotten better because I have been building and browsing.
I have some of the train sites on my links page
http://cmasi.chem.tulane.edu/~lego/lego_links.htm
(OK, so this a shameless plug for my own page too.)
