Other then the drydock shot at the end of NEMESIS, are there any good, graphic, references to the inside of the warp nacelles? For that matter, I can't find a good shot of the Nemises scene... good thing the DVD is almost out.

The Enterprise-A cut-away poster shows some stuff, is that realistic?

Well there's that entire TNG episode about the Nacelle Control Room. That gave many views down the nacelle, I think. Don't know its name though... It was about Troi and some psycho who killed himself, or someone else, or something. [Smile]

Eye of the Beholder. There are several shots of the inside of the nacelle showing the warp coils.

Star Trek has retconned the insides of the nacelles for the 'original series' now to match the technology they've established in TNG and beyond. Even in First Contact's references to the Phoenix and the NX-01, the warp nacelle technology has been pretty much unchanged.

There's a side view cutaway of the old Constitution Class in the Captain's Chair CD-ROM and is the same as the cutaway AMT model. The refit Constitution must have the same type of components in it's nacelles: Warp Field Coils, Off-Axis Field Controllers, Bussard Ramscoops, etc.
