Very forthcoming with that info. I was asking because there are two old Milwaukee 4-6-4's on the DLS, and their whistle does not really sound like a whistle. What kind of whistle did the Hiawatha Hudsons actually have, and where was it installed on the engine?

 

[tbird8923]

The 4-6-4s had both an airhorn and a whistle. It's rumored that the 4-4-2 was supposed to have a whistle, but the railroad decided against it.

I'd bet you that the whistle it would have would be that MILW 6 Chime Frisco 1630 wore a while back

I found a Milwaukee 6 Chime on CPR Works, the Arkansas Locomotive Works section on the site.

After a long hiatus due to computer issues, I have finally been able to do something in Blender that's intended for use in Trainz (and also for 3D printing when that becomes an option). I present a Nathan P6, as used on CA&L PA-3s. The Nathan P6 was not offered as a complete unit by Nathan, but all the parts required to make it were. It is, basically, a P5 with one bell mounted on a riser which has a branch on it. This allows for the fitment of a sixth bell. A regular P5 (not a P5a) has bells 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. the P6 has bells 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. If you want to know what it sounds like, see here.

Nice little fella

I just hope NYC 999 will make it to release. Are you planning on doing the version with 70 inch drivers and the matching passenger cars?

 

[benjaminw]

A version with 70 inch drivers would literally just be an I class 4-4-0, which NYC had a good number of. Completely up to him, but it would be pretty cool.

And besides, 999 was owned longer than New York Central actually was New York Central, at the time it was the New York Central & Hudson River

Just noticed something very interesting on this little engine, those splashes over the drive wheels. That seems to be a rarity for US steam engines.

 

[TweetsieDude]

Actually they were quite common on up to 1900.

Rock On!

The Indian locomotive class WAM - 4 is a very successful class of 25 kV AC electric locomotives used in India. The first member of the class was indigenously designed and built by CLW in 1970. The class was produced until 1983.

That is some very nice work. Never really known much about Indian railroads, but they do have a very distinct flavor. Do they run on standard gauge or meter gauge?

Nearly done with texturing:

No. They run on Indian gauge, which is broad gauge. It's 5 foot, 6 inches. Also, San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit, BART for short, uses Indian Gauge too.

Looks like we have a another Daylight chuffing up our sleeves. Glad to see one of the fallen sisters of 4449 and 4460 still holdn' up!

 

[sumitsingh]

Do they run on standard gauge or meter gauge?

They run on 1676 mm Gauge called as Broad Gauge.
Some Narrow Gauge is there for Hill Railways Like Kalka-Shimla & Darjelling.
Meter Gauge is converted to Broad Gauge as by Project Uni-gauge by Indian Railways.

These are actual locomotive I am going to try.
Different livery for different sheds.

And many more.
