Don't make me redo my NS OCS skins..... No matter how tempting it may seem to me...
Thank you trainman7616, you are know working on my true train love! I count down the days until I get to see 630 and 4501 at TVRM , this is truly an engine we need in trainz!!! Love the pilot/cow catcher and curved handrails, one thing from my memory of my good times with 630 is that the curved smokebox door handle below the headlight connects to the boiler side handles by the marker lights, I noticed she has her older round numbered plate, is this a 1970s/1980s depiction before 2010 square number version, and did trainboi1 forward you my Ks-2-8-0 builders plans for 630/722?

She's finally coming to Trainz! I'll be keeping a close eye on the progress on her. I knew she had to be built from scratch because there is no 2-8-0 in Trainz with her signature Southern Valve Gear.

Yes, N & W Jawn Henry!
The legendary and unique JH!
Personally, I'd rather see Pennsylvania Railroad's S2 6-8-6 turbine. I think it was the closest steam came to challenging diesel. Also, it bypassed the problems with locomotives like the Jawn Henry by connecting the turbines directly to the drive wheels, while the Jawn Henry faced the problem of coal dust and water getting into the traction motors.
Also, here's a video of the S2. Sorry, but so far I can't find a video with the sound.

The S2 was still horribly inefficient at low speeds, using the same amount of fuel at 5mph as it did at 70mph. It was also extremely unreliable and was prone to frequent breakdowns.

LETS GO PENS!

Justin, I think steve may have had plans later on to build it, considering him doing alot of the Pennsy Steam Fleet
Here is a Robert J. Duncan photo of 630. He gave this picture to me as I was on 630 that day, in this shot out of view on the fireman's side. Note the curved front smokebox handrail and how it connects to the boiler top one and the post 2010 block number plate. Love the progress so far and so happy to see 630 in trainz, she will be perfect on my new TVRM route. Sorry for such a large shot.

Fixed up the handrail for the front. Moved the markerlights. Added rivots. Redid the #630 with proper SOU font.
Oh it looks so beautiful, I should get a proper bell recording ready for her, with the perfectly timed automatic ring. Looks just like her present appearance! The only model of any steam engine in the world I truly love and can not wait to see her progress !

I have no plans for 722. As of right now I have no actual clue which version on 630's tender I built. Pretty sure I decided to model the current one aswell as the aux tender.
