I've seen a couple of black & white photos of steam engines used for switching cars around IH factories. I know of only one photo of a diesel owned/leased by Harvester & it's b&w also. A brief description indicated it was painted red & green with gold lettering. May have been used at the plant in Chicago or Rock Island. I'm hoping to come across a color photo or a slide so I can model it on my train layout. I'm also looking for photos of the coal hoppers IH owned or any rail related photos in & around the factories. I've checked with the online archives from Madison & I'm afraid it's not quite what I'm looking for. I know they can search through their photos but, that requires something I don't have a lot of ($). I've poked around on the internet, off & on, for a few years now & have surfaced nothing. Except a reference to the magazine with the afforementioned diesel photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated, for I am rather frustrated - Mike
