How to I find US steam locos and tenders from the 1940s and '50s? I tried all kinds of search combinations in Download Station, but no results.
I'm looking for locos, such as the New York Central 4-6-4 Hudson, Pennsy K4 Pacific, and similar.
Hope someone can help.

If you do a description search for "Pacific" and limit the search for steam loco & tender you get 102 items, mostly British, but including NYC Atlantics, the SP GS-4 and the Milwaukee Hudson in Hiawatha colors.
If you use the description "Penn" for all locomotives (some are classified a little strangely) you'll find 93 items, including the PRR S-1 streamlined locomotive.
The description "PRR" resulted in 67 items, including some D-Day passenger cars (how does that count as a locomotive?) and the K-4 (67810:5038).
The best way to not miss anything interesting is to do a blank title search for all the tender locos. A total of 824 show up, so plan on a long search. It might take an hour or two to go through the whole list, but you'll be amazed at what has been done for Trainz.
