Mostly I'm looking for plans of all the different locomotives I want to do.

Recently, I was browsing the Internet and stumbled across the "Promontory Locomotive Project" which was the National Park Service's plan to recreate the Golden Spike ceremony by building replicas of the 2 locomotives (UP 119 and CPs Jupiter) to display on scene. They have detailed plans of both locomotives on their website. 1700 pages detailing every part from the boiler down to the bell bracket. If you had access to lots of metal, a machine shop, and gobs of money, you could build your own 4-4-0 locomotive with these plans. Right now I'm browsing through the plans looking for major components to design 1/24 models of both locos. Unfortunately my computer has a heart attack every time I try and open the PDF in Photoshop to pull the drawings I need. This should be fun.
