Some buck's hangin' out the font a little far ain't he? :hehe: An 0-8-8-2, I think? Hmm. It's unique, for sure.
H222: Well, for people like you, who TROLL every post i make, it's an 0-8-8-0. My work on an 0-8-8-0 halted cause GMax was being a stupid mess, but yesterday, i opened my email and saw a response to my conversation with Mr. Neal (the creator of the source files) in which he gave me his modified version of his 2-8-8-2 as a close-to-real 0-8-8-0. Thanks to him, here it is.
Also, it's for the Moonbrooke & Western railroad, my fictional company. It's getting a makeover for the time being. (<- that was the "big project" i was talking about in my 1000-post thread.)
Maybe you could shut up for a while? It'd do you well. REALLY well.
Levi: Close. As stated above, it's an 0-8-8-0. Tried to make it myself from Mr. Neal's source files for a 2-8-8-2, but failed. He eventually gave me this. Can't thank him enough.

I'd say that would make a pretty interesting engine, but wouldn't a trailing truck make it easier to take the weight of that firebox?
Here's my latest project of British Columbia 2860.
However, I was unable to get the oil bunker in the right spot.
How did you place the oil bunker on the tender and what program did you use?
The way i see it is that the Moonbrooke & Western (the company this engine belongs to) purchased a 2-8-8-2 but modified it to an 0-8-8-0 for heavy coal service from out of the mines. That would be intersting, though, an 0-8-8-2. I don't think any railroads ever had any of these. But the firebox actually isn't as big as it seems. It's actually supported pretty well if you see it from the side.

What would the M&W want an 0-8-8-0 for? Reduced weight on the rails? Either way, it's an interesting engine, and I like the paint scheme it wears.
Well what do you think of this Royal Hudson reskin

NoT tHe StAtUeS!
Oh yes, he's right.
You're exactly right. The rail line wasn't perfect. It was built in 1919 for coal service in the northeast, and money was kinda tight for the workers. Tracks needed to be built by December 21st, 1921, or else the funding would be cut. Luckilly it was done in September of that year, but the tracks weren't top-notch. The M&W needed a powerhouse for their coal drags, but the tracks couldn't handle a 2-8-8-2 or 2-8-8-0. 2-6-6-2's went under-powered, so they acquired a single ALCo 2-8-8-2 from the Denver and Rio Grande Western and remade it as an 0-8-8-0 in early 1924 for coal drags. Speed wasn't a key factor in the process, as it was often relegated to speeds of under 20 MPH due to the lack of a pilot truck.

jointed freaking rails
Do keep in mind that an 0-8-8-0 actually puts more weight on the rails per wheel than a similarly-sized 0-8-8-0. The trucks aren't there just for guidance (unnecessary at thoae slow speeds), but also to bear some weight, especially from the firebox.
Well, then, in that case...
The M&W purchased a USRA 2-8-8-2 from the D&RGW in 1924, but due to a crash near Moonbrooke, it's trailing and pilot wheels were busted. Without sufficient funds for new trucks, and the growing need of coal in the city, the trucks were removed and scrapped. It then became an 0-8-8-0 due to the problems with money and time.
Sorry. Gotta research my facts first. :hehe:
