Thanks Terry, this was a great ideas. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Went to the library last night, and have requested three books through the inter-library loan program. Why I was there found a great book on the history of the American steam locomotive. The book had plenty of photos, and drawings. Think I might try making one.
