Info needed on CPR, FP7As
In the picture in this link http://trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/locomotive/1400s/cp1416.htm can someone tell me what the quarter circle extensions are on each side of the diesel's roof are called and what purpose did they serve?
Very useful link ---- old Railroad industry magazines.
You guys might find this helpful. There are all kinds of prototype drawings and information in these magazines. I've found them very fascinating as they discuss, at the time of their publication, the latest industry news.

D&RGW Narrow Gauge Depot of Parlin, Co
Hello everybody,
I want to sratchbuild the depot of Parlin, Co from the D&RGW (narrow gauge). I have found a lot of pictures from the location and from the depot itself, but I don't have found not one single picture of the roadside of the depot. Do anybody knows, where I can find a picture from the roadside or a plan of the depot.
Thanks

Need advice on scratch building O scale wharf - Pilings
Hi Guys,
I'm starting to get stuff together and build a Pier for the Wharf section of my On30 layout. Some time back I purchased some 1/4" diameter dowels at the grocery store. I think they were sticks for Carmel apples. So, 1/4" works out to 12" in O scale. Is that diameter big enough around for pilings? I have searched online for hours and can not find any blueprints or drawings for a wharf or pier. The old Santa Cruz pier would be type of design I'm looking for.
