American steam search standard gauge 1880-1900

[KenGreen]

Are there any American standard gauge steam locomotives from the period 1880-1900. Ben Neal's site seems to contain sg from 1900 onwards and quite a few ng to 1900. Prowler site concentrates on narrow gauge.
I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction whether it be payware or freeware.

Thanks for that but V&T is too early 1861-1870 ish. I was looking for something like Baldwin 2-8-0 consolodations.

The only ones of that 1880-1900 era are MSTS at V-Scale Creations.

Andre Ming's Ozark Northern in MSTS

Even in model trains that era is ignored. It would be nice to have that era in Trainz but it is highly unlikely.

there is this:

And the tender: http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS_viewasset.php?AssetID=133960

It's a bit too dull black for the olden days though, but it's a vauclain compound. The only one i know of in trainz.

My NP F1 2-8-0 hails from 1889. I think SR6900 has a 2-6-0 at eastcoasttrainz that might fit the era.

Cheers,
Ben

Have a look on this site. There's some early steam loco's that might interest you. - http://www.trainzone.co.nz/steam.htm

Zak Agresto redesigned the sight a while back and the engine's aren't there anymore. I think he'll have them back up shortly. But in any case, they look a bit to modern for the 1880's. One has a centered headlight, all have straight electric headlamps, dynamos, piston valves, and the like. they look like older 2-6-0s that were modernized, something like Dardanelle & Russelville #9 at North Freedom, Wis.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request, it confirms my thoughts that this is a period that is missed in trainz. It is however well served in narrow gauge on the D&RGW RR. Unfortunately there is a lack of narrow gauge routes available, unless anybody knows of a site where a part of the D&RGW route is available. I think Todd was working on this but I presume that he is spending all of his time producing locos.
At this point I would like to personally thank Ben Neal & Todd H. for introducing me to American steam locomotives. Until I started with trainz I thought that a love of steam locomotives was a purely British thing.
The story of American steam is truly fascinating I now have a number of books on the subject. For anyone interested there is also a nice app available on the ipad,
