RRDavey OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 98 Thank you received: 24	Can anyone point me to a good picture of the pilots on an RDG passenger GP7? In particular, I'd like to see how the steam lines are mounted. All of the pictures I've found so far are from a distant or the area of interest is shadowed. Thanks for your help.--Dave
