K&L Trainz Steam Locomotive pics!

1225 had a 31 car passenger train, and 765 had a 25 car empty hopper train....not much of a contest there lol

And wikipedia says they both have 69" drivers.

Hmmm, I always thought that 1225 had 70" drivers. I believe she had a fully loaded passenger train so maybe she had the advantage.

Apparent most of the Lima Berk designs were 69".

That 91 NRHS convention was nothing but problems for 1225. Mechanical issues the day of the side by side and then the next day they ran double headed to Hinton and 1225 ended up having a crack leading to water being spraying in the firebox, so the engine was useless.
So 765 pulled 1225 and 31 cars alone

Interesting. I remember that when she traveled to WV from MI she had to be restricted to 25 MPH because of speedometer problems. Good thing she met 765 in Lima. She did all the work.

They tacked on a CSX diesel at Walbridge Yard to speed the move to Lima, might have boosted the speed but I'm not sure. I'm amazed that the engineers were able to synchronize the sounds of the exhaust in some of the areas. Simply incredible

I've got the perfect whistle for it.

Just let Steve do as he pleases? And no, 734's whistle is NOT the best for 1225.

While I was giving myself early C&O Christmas presents I figured I'd better get K&L's C&O Greenbriers to go with gawpo50's H8s. :wave:

Quite the Lima Christmas gathering there!

The Pere Marquette 1225 is done! Just some minor work on the cars and website and she'll be ready to ride!

And also much has been done with the next beast on the list! Definitely showcases the class characteristics of the N&W A!

the Berkshire and the cars that comes with it looks great Steve as well as the the N&W A class engine.

We may have an N&W A class from K&L Trainz?

Nicely done. Sorry for being a nit picker, but 1225 doesn't have grab irons on her tender.

 

[TRDevlDog]

Super excited about the "A" project!

They aren't there. No need to point out details that aren't even incorrect.

Great job, but it also needs black wheels on the tender trucks. Also, will the N&W A Class locomotive have an articulated enginesound like sounds of the 1218 or something?

Didn't you hear what he said to William?

Nope, I didn't see the post.

Wait, where did it go? It was there before...

Did the mods remove them?
