Looking for pictures of trains that entered ot used Pittsburgh. I’m setting up a layout and making Pittsburgh scenery and trains in HO.

Thanks,

The PRR historical society has two books on the Pennsy in the golden triangle and PRR in the steel city.
Golden West Books years ago had a great book on the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie but the last time I saw this book (other than the copy on my shelf that I paid $10 for) it was selling for collector prices.
My advice is to try www.bookfinder.com and search for books on Pittsburgh railroads
