USA Tank

There is a heritage railway in Kent, England called the Kent and East Sussex Railway, home to a tank engine known to the volunteers as the "yank tank", No.62. It was brought over in 1943 from the Pennsylvania to help the war effort, and now runs on the K&ESR. I was wondering if anyone knew if a model of this had been made, and if so, where I could get my hands on it?! (It's proper name is a USA Tank)

I have a feeling it was a standard PRR-style saddle tank, but I wouldn't know unless I see what it looks like. If you can post a picture, we'll know what it looks like. :)

If this is the engine you are talking about (even though its number is 65) it is a 0-6-0 switcher used by the U.S. Army Transportation Corps. After WW2, many of them remained in various European railways: as far as I know, they were used in France, Italy and Yugoslavia (one of these was still used at a coal mine some years ago).

I do not think it has ever been made for Trainz (unfortunately :().

Yep, that is the engine. It's a shame that no-one has made it, if I can figure out how i might try and make it myself!
Regards,
Chris.

Felixtrain is making a Chinese XK2 (a Chinese conversion of the USATC S100) - see here post #9597 but it is more USA rather than European in fittings.
 
Anyone want to make a 0-6-0 Porter for trainz a new era?

If you google HO 0-6-0 Porter you will see what i'm talking about, I have wanted one for a long time and I finally got it for my layout! But does anyone want to recreate it for T:ANE? Mainly the midvale steel, Bethlehem steel, and the Santa Fe. If anyone can make one could you also send me the .blend files for it?

Thanks for the kuids, does anyone know how to export models to fbx or blender? Because I was planning on making My favorite Santa Fe, Santa Fe 271C.

I found 2 locos I would like for T:ANE

SO after doing some research. I found 2 engines. The new york dock railway #6 0-6-0T and the Pennsylvania Lines #8542 class C-31 0-8-0T. Let me know if you can make these. Thanks! :)
