Looks kind of like a compact 1522 to me.

I couldn't agree more.

STLSF, Please don't quote pictures. You can edit the link for the image out, and add something like "pic removed". I understand if you didn't know. You can quote pics if the original is on a different page than your post, though.

Modified it a bit to better suit my taste. Custom engine. EH64 Heavy Pacific

Just for craps and laughs you should give it a belpaier firebox, I think that would make it look sick, especially with the vandy tender. Even if you don't, that's some fine work there, you did a mighty fine job!

sign me up for one of those here take my money

Chance, that looks pretty fantastic. I might make the tender tank a little bit larger and make the Elesco a little wider. Just a suggestion.

If he's gonna give it a Belpaier Firebox, then he's should give it a Henry Looking Tender LOL. JK. But seriously, a Belpaier Firebox wouldn't look half bad.

I can do the tender. The Elesco, if made wider will cover the marker lights

The marker lights can actually be hung off the Elesco in some cases. Just an idea, again. It might give the loco good character, but it also might make it weird. So just go either way.

The C&O placed marker lights in front of the Elesco feedwater heaters on some of their Pacifics...

And on their 2-8-8-2s...

Not really based on anything.

The first version minus the air tanks looks just like a lovely Southern steamer (1360 or 1370 class) The bell is just like 4501's from the 1970s, and the whistle looks like 722's steamboat whistle. I would love to have that in green or tuxedo on my route.
The version with deflectors look good too.

It uses parts from many different meshes I have in blender. Most of which are from Frisco 1522 and a C&O engine Im building. No southern parts were used. Ive been told it has either a NYC or Boston & Maine vibe to it.

 

[chris2001trainz2010]

Is that logo on the tender permanent? Or will you be making other versions? Still looks mighty-fine!

Just wonderin'...

 

[trainman7616]

This wont be permanent. Since its not a real engine. Dont know if Im going to release it or not.

It's beautiful, I'd have that as the Southern Highland Express.

I think it'd be a great addition to the reskinner's arsenal. I mean, just take a good look at it; it's AMAZING! Just my thoughts...

trainman716, I'd say that the engine pictured and the other version without the smoke deflectors and torpedo tubes on the boiler looks incredible!

I agree to that it is truly a work of art!
