I've been a Lego maniac for well over 20 years now and I have NEVER owned or
been interested in owning a train set... until now.   Having seen some of
the incredible work that Larry and many others have done I am feeling the
urge to try my hand at Lego-locomotion as it were.

I recently bought two 4561s from Brickbay and they should be arriving fairly
shortly... this will give me track and wheels and such.

What I need help with is the following:

I want my first engine to be modeled after a Union Pacific coal train... but
I can not find any reasonable pictures.  I've followed some of the suggested
links to the NMRA but still have no luck.

The UPRR site has the only decent photo I can find but being naive about
trains this is not sufficient for me to model it properly.

Here is the link to the train I'd like to model.

Thanks in advance for any help.
