I have some pictures of the Quinsippi Central #127 4-4-2 and the Diesel, at The Dells, but I 'll have to dig them out.  I also have a postcard or two.  I'm in the process of sorting out my "stuff" after retirement, so it might take a while, but I'll move it to the top of my "look for" list :>) 


The railroad was bought from us at Sandlley's by Elliott Donnelley, and donated to the Quincy Park District, in about 1965.  The #127 was our "second" engine on the R&GN Ry. We alternated it and the #128 in service at The Dells, a month at a time, before Norman sold it to Elliott.  The Diesel-hydrostatic was converted from an overhead belt, "line shaft" drive, more-or-less GP7 body, that we already had on the property.  I have some "builder's Photos" I took at the time it was finished, in Green and Black, pre-BN though :>)
