Hi Cameron,

Fictional or not I still like the Russia Iron boiler jacket on the SP2. It would be nice, though, if JR and Lilb have an inclination to do some other iterations of the SPs, possibly including a disc main driver, as well as a second sand dome.

The SP-2 model actually has a disc main driver, but I'm not sure if I will do a version of the SP class with a second sand dome. But you never know.;)

Fictional Russia Iron Boiler Jacket on the earlier prewar version of the SP SP-1 4-10-2.
wait its fictional?
nothing wrong with fiction, but i like me some trains that really existed.
anyway great job as always, my review will be going up on youtube real soon. as its pretty much the sp-2 with some pre-war details, i decided to compared the pre-war to the post-war mostly because i have a weird fetish for comparing things :P
either way its well worth the money, i just hope he brings out a prototypical one too.
It's all prototypical except for the boiler jacket and it's actually quite possible that one could have received a Russia Iron boiler jacket. There were some locomotives that did get new Russia Iron or similar boiler jackets like this in the 1920s, but there is no evidence that any 4-10-2s ever had one. Though at least one 4-10-2 had a green boiler jacket, which will be represented in an upcoming pack.

Per Lilb: "The SP-2 model actually has a disc main driver...." Yes, it does. :o I think I'll just crawl under the table now and leave the creations to the expert. And: "...I'm not sure if I will do a version of the SP class with a second sand dome." Whatever you should decide is worth your efforts will be on my hard drive and in use as soon as it's published.

The axle loading actually has little to do with the type of bearing. This car should weigh about 80 tons loaded, but cars of at least 100 tons were built using solid bearings. These trucks actually have roller bearings, just fitted inside the old journals. It was built in 1969, which is late to have been built with solid bearings, so the trucks may have been recycled from older cars. The few of these cars still around are on standard roller bearing trucks (assuming they are still running around, since they would be past their 40 year maximum service lives... but it's possible to get an extension on that of 5? years.)
