"MOLLIES"
4-8-0

The first of the N&W's "Mollies" (as the crews called these 4-8-0s), these engines were supplied by Alco-Richmond (75) and Baldwin (50). In a long, and very good essay on the N&W "Remarkable 4-8-0s", Thomas Dressler notes that these engines were the railroad's main-line freight haulers and very successful this first batch were. Described as a Consolidation with a 4-ft longer boiler, these engines didn't break any new ground but did provide better riding qualities and more power on essentially the same wheelbase.

The 4-8-0 at Strasburg is an EX-N&W M with high mounted headlight and shorter 4 wheel truck tender.

Erie S-3 /S-4 Berkshire

The Baldwin Locomotive Works received an order for thirty-five "Berkshires" from the Erie in 1928. They were designated as Class S-3 and assigned road numbers 3350 through 3384. A final twenty "Berks" were ordered in 1928 and came from Lima in 1929. This group was designated as Class S-4 and carried road numbers 3385 through 3404. (www.steamlocomotive.com). The primary difference in these two classes are the road number and some tender details. 

Both will be detailed as they were in the late 40s and early 50s with modified running gear and modernized appliances. Show your interest by ordering. The more orders the lower the final price will be.

LATE HAS LONG TENDER AND LARGER CAB THAN EARLY VERSION. 

All 51 of these "Mountains" were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and were designated as Class 3700. They all had 28 x 28 cylinders, 69" drivers, a boiler pressure of 210 psi, a tractive effort of 56,788 lbs and weighed approximately 352,000 pounds.

Sunset Models is making the 3700s in both early and late versions. Details listed in brochure.

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.

K-1 4-8-4 3100 /3101

Only two K-1 class 4-8-4's were built by Angus Shops. They were the only 4-8-4's on the CPR and were especially designed for the heavy Montreal-Toronto night trains. Following dieselization of those trains the pair were assigned to Montreal-St.John NB passenger service however, due to a design feature they were restricted from use in the USA and were therefore operated only as far east as Farnham, Quebec. Later still, they were re-assigned to freight service out of Winnipeg.

Shown below at Winnipeg in freight service a sadly neglected looking engine near the end of its working life.
August 16,1959 Bud Laws Collection
NOTE:
Both locomotives were preserved, 3100 at the National Museum in Ottawa and 3101 at IPSCO in Regina, Sask.

P&LE H-10

The railroad owning the largest number of Mikados (1,350 system wide) was the New York Central . As of January 1, 1946, the system had 921 2-8-2s on its roster.

Finally, there were 302 class H10 Mikados, which some consider the precursor to the "Lima Super-Power" design. 

Sunset Models is bringing you the "Super-Power" Mikado to you in "SUPER DETAIL". Also lettered for P&LE. Choose from version A or B. 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. Neither version have been modeled in 3 Rail.

orth 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".

Don’t be left out, each version will be available in  2 Rail and 3 Rail. Come join the FUN!!!
