[CBQ] Modeling Beginner Seeking Mentorship

["owl_man_2000 via Groups.Io" <owl_man_2000=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

I am embarking on a project to model The CB&Q and M&StL between the years 1910-+920. I want to develop a layout using the railway map of Monmouth, IL at that time. Right now, I only have a custom HO model of my Great Grandfather's G-1 0-6-0 #1307. But I have learned that engine was retired in the teens.

Please steer me to where I can find the following:

1) What CB&Q switcher ran switch with the M&StL in Monmouth, IL in after #1307 was retired?  

2) Is there a resource to find out what engines J.D. Toal engineers for The CB&Q in Monmouth?

3) Which CB&Q freight engines regularly went through Monmouth between 1910-1920, what did they typically haul and to/from where? 

4) Which M&StL freight engines regularly went through Monmouth between 1910-1920, what did they typically haul and to/from where? 

5) Which CB&Q passenger 
engines regularly went through Monmouth between 1910-1920, which cars did they typically pull and to/from where? 

6) Where can I get views of The CB&Q and M&StL railway plans for 1910-1920 (to create a layout)?

7) Where should I look for photos of the Monmouth railroad scenery (the pottery, depot, Costello Tower, etc.)?

8) Do any replicas of Monmouth (see question above) exist?  If not, who creates custom buildings from photographs?

Unrelated to this layout:
1) Did The Pioneer Zephyr run through Monmouth during its historic Denver to Chicago run?

2) Did the Aelous evert go through Monmouth (I found a photograph of it in my Grandpa's CB&Q books.

Thank you in advance!
