Santa Fe 2900 Class 4-8-4

The AT&SF used its 4-8-4s for passenger service. Since its main line stretching over 2200 miles (Chicago to California), the AT&SF had a real need for excellent motive power.

Convinced that the Northerns could handle its needs, AT&SF ordered 11 more in 1938 with 80" drivers (known as Class 3765 and included road numbers 3765 through 3775) with another 10 ordered in 1941 (Class 3776, including road numbers 3776 through 3785)

The last group of 30 were built in 1943 and 1944. Wartime shortages of material resulted in ordinary metals being used for their construction. As a result, they were the heaviest Northerns ever built. They out weighed their nearest rivals by over 2000 pounds. This group was known as Class 2900 and included road numbers 2900 through 2929.

The difference between versions a and b are minor piping detail differences and appliances. The significance of version a over b  is that it has never been modeled in 2 Rail before.

C&NW H-1 4-8-4

The Chicago & North Western needed more motive power for its main line operations and in 1929 received 35 very large 4-8-4s from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. These Class H Northerns (road numbers 3001 through 3035) were put to work replacing double-headed Pacifics on fast freight and passenger trains.

Because of their size and weight, these new locomotives were restricted to the 488 mile Omaha - Chicago main line. They were some of the largest 4-8-4s ever built weighing in at 498,000 pounds. The tractive effort was 65,200 lbs at a boiler pressure of 250 psi as originally delivered, but later the pressure was raised to 275 psi increasing the tractive effort to 71,800 lbs. The drivers were 76" in diameter and the cylinders were 27" x 32".

In 1940. the entire fleet underwent a rebuild to include lightweight rods, boxpok drivers and roller bearings on all axles. In the late 1940s, 24 of them underwent another rebuild and were given new nickel - steel frames, new cylinders, pilot beams and air reservoirs, new fireboxes and many other minor improvements. These were reclassified as Class H-1. (from Steamlocomotive.com)

VIRGINIAN AE 2-10-10-2
These ten locomotives were built in 1918 by ALCo for the Virginian Railway. Due to size limitations en route, the locomotives were delivered without cab or the front, low pressure cylinders, which were installed on site. The low pressure cylinders at 48 inch (1.22 m) diameter were the largest ever used on a US locomotive; they had to be tilted slightly upward to provide sufficient clearance.

As can be seen in the photograph, the tenders fitted were unusually small; this was to enable them to fit on the Virginian Railway's turntables. (wikipedia)

 NSL - SILVERLINER SET
Never Made in 3 Rail!

North Shore Line Fans Rejoice, you already have the Electroliner, but before there was an Electroliner, Silverliners ruled the roost. Coming in 2009 as a 3 car set, the Silverliners will have fully detailed interiors with overhead constant voltage lighting. In 3 Rail, we will have to power 1 car to pull the others, with the electronics for sound and TMCC in the Diner. For 2 Rail we will have each car independently powered to make things simple.

Also we are taking reservations for the Greenliner, the same design as the Silverliners, but without the skirts. We suggest you order both. Below are some pictures of the Silverliners from the "Route of the Electroliners".
