I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone have any pictures of CP’s 4-8-2s?

There are pictures and specs on Canadian Pacific Mountains in Omer Lavalees book on CP Steam. Pictures on pages 136,137 and specifications on page 316. Rather an obscure engine to model as there were only two of them 2900,2901.

As another poster mentioned, there were only two of them, so finding a picture of them actually in service will probably be rather difficult. Van Hobbies (I think) produced a HO model (brass) of them at one point, but I can’t find a picture. They look kind of like a longer P1 mikado.
