Pennsylvania Railroad Articulated?

[Alex99al]

I came across this 2-8-8-2 on the net and I doubt it's a Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive

...I believe it's a photoshoped Norfolk & Western class Y3 2-8-8-2. I know, the PRR had a few 2-8-8-2s, but this one I doubt is actually a PRR steamer. If it is, let me know. I don't think it's an actual PRR articulated, but then again I could be wrong.

Ohh Man...Make that in Trainz ! How I wish I knew how to design things in GMax.

According to the Model Railroader Cyclopedia Vol 1 (page 251) the PRR did have 2-8-8-2's. They were purchased used from the N&W.

The engine is available as payware from Paulz Trainz (Barn700). I'm sure he can make it in the PRR livery.

Yes, it's real. I have a picture of one street running in a town nearby. I've run a model many times.

Class HH1/HH1s

This is its shop drawing:

In WWII N&W Y-3's were sold to PRR, AT&SF, and UP.

They had some, I think, 2-8-8-0's as well which had the usual Belpaire firebox and such.

According to Schafer and Solomon the Pennsy had the folowing artics:

11 Class CC 0-8-8-0 (built 1912-1919)
1 Class HC1 2-8-8-0 (1919) the one with the Belpaire firebox
1 Class HH1s 2-8-8-2 (1911)
6 Class HH 2-8-8-2 (ex N&W Class Y-3. Acquired during WW2)
