Western Railroad Discussion > Photo Re Quest: SP Torpedo Boat GP9Date: 08/13/20 13:54 Photo Re Quest: SP Torpedo Boat GP9 Author: BoilingMan Does anyone have a good roof photo of an SP GP9 Torpedo Boat? It's for a modeling project and I'm hoping to get a look at the piping and air reservoirs.

I’ve got several projects in going and I’m always a couple steps ahead in gathering info for future work. We’re heading down to The Good Boat Marika Paige next week. I’m deciding what to take down for my nautical modeling season...

SR Date: 08/13/20 15:17 Re: Photo Re Quest: SP Torpedo Boat GP9 Author: callum_out Don't think I've got any roof shots, I'm not that tall.

Wait- what were the ladders for? SR That’s how I got my SD9 roof shots...

So where do they
end up? In emissions conscious LA, loved the SP! Out Date: 08/13/20 17:33 Re: Photo Re Quest: SP Torpedo Boat GP9 Author: PasadenaSub espee.railfan.net has lots of pictures

I never would have guessed the funny little turn in the air line, or the WW antenna mounted on the boiler intake. Thanks Date: 08/13/20 18:40 Re: Photo Re Quest: SP Torpedo Boat GP9 Author: jbwest No overhead view to help with the modeling of the piping, but doing what they were designed to do...pull the Del Monte. As an old Navy guy I envy you boat trips.
