Request and question....
Hi, sorry to post a request here in the Australian screenshot forum but I think this is seen better here than if posting my request in any other AURAN/N3V forum. Does anyone please have ANY pictures etc. of the tops ONLY of some of these locomotives. I looked everywhere on the INet with Google for some of these pictures and to no luck, these top pictures are mainly at the wrong angle or too far away where one can not make out much details on these. I have plenty of reference material/pictures etc. of anything else, it is what is (and how this is laid out) on top of these locomotives I would like to know (and need to know):
PN Class
PN 8000/9000 Class
GWA run, probably GWA Class, similar to STC/LDP Class
ARG Q 4000/AC 4000 Class
FQ01 (Freightlink) is an EDI Downer build locomotive
QR 6000
and any other similar looking unit you might think fits there too.
As said, I only need to know what the top looks like of these above locomotives as these are not seen in my neck of the woods where I live in Peterborough SA.
If anyone also knows about the SAR Bluebird 250 and 280 Classes, how the fans on top where laid out, with fan guards over like most other fans or just a mesh over their fans, how many fans and how the radiators looked like on these SAR Bluebirds. As well as how the engine and other underbody gear looks exactly, as I came to a standstill on these and I need to get to Adelaide one of these days to see if the Pt.Adelaide Railway Museum has these SAR BBs there. Rob Shaw's old SAR Bluebirds in TRS04 and another version does not show much of these details needed.
As I am being held up on the progress of the Bluebirds, have a look what I whipped up in just 3 days, these pics should also qualify to post this here in this screenshot forum:
Disregard some of the parts on it and the bogies, these are only there to get the SCT Class into TS09/10 and TS12 to run. I was lucky when one of the SCT Class locomotives was parked some months ago at the Adelaide Dry Creek Maintenance yard of EDI Downer, I was able to snap as many pictures as I wanted and there was even a scaffolding there to take as many pictures from its top as I wanted. The SCT Class and any other of the above units I will be building will be to the same standard as I usually build, as well as being Freeware, hence all these requested details are much needed.

Thank you in advance for any help given as some of you are very avid picture takers and the above requested units are running in your state(s) of Oz and rarely, if ever, venture into my corner of SA. Only NR Class, SCT Class, DL Class and other old locomotives are found running around here. Any help given will also help you of getting to play with some of the most detailed and accurate available Freeware units from Australia. Which will be still up to date for years to come.
Cheers
