LAST EDITED ON Dec-03-04 AT 08:17 AM (EST)

Well these are what I'm tinkering with right now. A 4-4-0 "big-wheeler" (any road who had these?) complete with a highball artist, 4-6-2 Pacific for no particular road, and SJ Litt. B.
I'm also working with some secret projects I can't tell you about. I'm just showing this off so please don't ask for making this or that into something I don't want.Release date: UNKNOWN./JonatanSteam rules!

Mmmmm, nice Pacific. I could move the bell to the front... or... make another .s file with the bell in front after this one is done and then include it in the download so you can just swap .s file. /JonatanSteam rules!

Sorry to be the rivet counter but that Americans (4-4-0) boiler looks too small and those wheels are HUGE. Can't remeber ever having seen that huge drivers on such a small engine. Pulling capacity would be next to none and the engineer would need to be a real expert not to run out of steam. It's good modelling but out of proportions.

Mehehehehehe! Looks like somethin right outta Disney now donnit? Weeeell I think she could pull a train at a pretty fine speed tho. That there engineeress is pretty good. Or d'ye reckon she'd slip and grind her way thru the rails?It's a for-fun engine so rivet-counter stuff don't count. /JonatanSteam rules!

I believe the old Empire State Express 999 had 72" drivers. But I do agree, that boiler couldn't produce enough steam for those wheels to move. Otherwise, its a nice model, but it needs to lose the mouse or whatever. Sorry.

Drum took great offense to your words and refused to be in the cab for this shot.Naaaaaw but the loco looses it's cuteness with a big boiler. I guess the diamond stack, wagon-top boiler and headlight are gonna go next. <=(This big enough?/JonatanSteam rules!

Jonatan-if you were to produce a steamer with a diamond stack, wagon-top boiler and headlight, but with smaller drive wheels (a la the trains from Disney World) I'd bow down and worship the ground you walk on. This sim needs more small steamers and especially small steam engines with diamond stacks.http://www.burnsland.com/sdra/roger_broggie.htmlhttp://www.burnsland.com/sdra/lilly_belle.htmlI would kill a small child just to have an amusement park steam engine.

All,Just thought this might be interesting...New York Central 4-4-0 No. 999 earned a place in history when it reached a speed of 112.5 mph while pulling the four-car Empire State Express between Batavia and Buffalo, N.Y., on May 10, 1893. This publicity shot, made after her world-famous run, clearly shows the locomotive’s uncommonly large 86-inch driving wheels.New York Central SystemOBTW - the plans for this fine locomotive are in the Locomotive Cyclopedia - by Kambalch....Regards,
Scott

Yeah well the Pacific will be something too eventually. Get rods n stuff.The 4-4-0 however will be the first to leave the shops I think. The engineeress will stay on my comp tho as it's not my original char.Edit: Oh and before you begin thinking I stole anything I can asure that the texturing work is mine. /JonatanSteam rules!
