Hi fellow Trainzers,
My prefered railroad is the Western Pacific in California. Until recently there were a few diesels and no steam. Within the last year a few locos were reskined for WP but were coal fired. WP used coal but not in California. There is very little in US oil tenders to choose from except for the Vanderbuilts which WP didn't have. WP didn't put the railroad name on the locos, only on the tender, ussualy the square logo.
Now there are two WP oil tenders that I know of. Snipier was nice enough to put the logo on a medium sized oil tender with six wheel trucks. A small WP oil tender with four wheel trucks comes with the "WP 94" 4-6-0 from Steam Train Workz with the older style "Western Pacific" spelled on it's sides instead of the logo. I hope some one will replace the text with the square logo but I will make do with the text version.
I have put these tenders with locos of the types use by WP to give me ten oil fired locos to choose from. They are listed below. most if not all of these locos come in several versions and those I have initially chosen may not be the best choice but they work for me. I think all are on the DLS except WP 94.
WP 4-6-0 #94 was like the "Baldwin 4-6-0M" most of it's life but in ~1954 it was restored to it's "original configuration" and paint for use in promotions and such.
Now if some one would remove the skirts from the black SP 4-8-4 "daylight" and paint it as the WP Class 481 GS-64-77 with an apropriate tender the world we be a better place.
2-8-0 "Baldwin medium 2-8-0M" with small tender. #21 is OK. Remove letters
4-6-0 "Baldwin 4-6-0M" with small tender. s/b #71-85
0-6-0 "Gorre and Daphetid" with small tender. s/b #151-166
4-8-2 "USRA Light 4-8-2 Mountain" s/b #171-180 except 175
4-6-0 "WP 94" and it's small tender.
4-8-2 "Western Pacific 4-8-2 Mountain Type" The medium tender comes with it. #175 OK
2-8-0 "C-41 blank 2-8-0" with medium tender as are the rest. s/b #22-65
2-8-8-2 "USRA 2-8-8-2 TS12" s/b #251-260
2-8-2 "SP Baldwin #3299" s/b #306-310
2-8-2 "UNION PACIFIC USRA Light" s/b #312-314, 316-336. 322 best since may be only WP 2-8-2 w/o feedwater heater.
