N scale or the prototype? I can help you with one of those, guess which. 
You could always try contacting Uncle Pete to see if they have anything like that.

Actually a Google Images search may get you a lot further than Wikipedia.

Any particular one? The NP Z6, Z7, and Z8 were pretty different from each other and very different from the UP / D&RGW Challengers.
Most of the time I just caught 3985 passing by:
But I did catch up with it in the station a few times. Even once when they had to change a bearing.:
I don't remember if I took and entire set walking around or not.
Looking for minor details not on any model or drawing, like pressure taps and lube lines. I've trolled giggle end to end several times. Found a fair bit from u-tube.
Thanks

Officially I don't know. I took that picture when it was on the front of the circus train last fall sometime. They run it down to Denver fairly frequently just to keep it from stiffing up. Since I no longer have an office that overlooks the yard I cannot see every time it comes in.

Reminds me of the big-nose dog pictures with the ultra-wide angle lense I wonder how they got the golden glow effect. I would have never thought to take an ultra-wide shot from that angle.
