Oh yeah, 2912 will be an impressive steam engine to ride behind. The PLRHS has done a great job on the station and everything.I believe I heard she should be operational by the end of the year.Austin S.

Yes I was compairing the charts http://www.sps700.org/locostats.html
and accroding to the link in my first post it will put the ATSF 2912 just under the Challenger in most reguards and above the UP 844 and the SP&S 700 moving the 700 down to forth and the 844 to third in size when it becomes operational. it also appears that the 2912 will be running Excursions up the Arkansas river valley and I can only hope one if its stops will be the Royal GorgeDon Pottorff

wile Browsing about the ATSF 3751 I found a Chart of Northern Locomotives that are opperational in the US and here is a compairason of all of them i would just take the last one as a comparason with both the Pueblo and New Mexico 2900's since the makers of this site probbably were unawair that another 2900 was going to be operational

This site also Gives links to the web pages of all the other 4-8-4 locomotives that are operational
I also just realised that we have 5 of the 10 Northerns in MSTS that are operational isnt that cool just 5 more to go to be developedDon Pottorff
