Locomortive houses.

Any body have any idea where I could get pictures of either the C&C or N-C-O engine houses or plans thereof. I have gone through Myrick's , and Abdills books with no luck

For the C&C, most were single-stall houses similar to the V&T shed in Reno. George Turner's "Slim Rails Through the Sand" has a photo of the one in Keeler. It mentions that similar engine houses were in Mound House, Hawthorne, and Candelaria. It also shows a larger roundhouse in Mina; 10+ stalls? in 1906; I'm not sure if it was built with the others?
For the N-C-O, I haven't seen much - just a partially obscured photo of a two-bay brick engine house in Reno.

Thanks! It can be a real challange to find details on some of these old NG buildings

Looks like there's a photo of the Mina enginehouse on the C&C / SPNG on ebay right now:
