I have wanted a model of this engine for decades.  Only one company put it out is HO, but nobody in O scale.  Railroad Modeler put out articles and plans in the fall of 1989.  This was a powerful and beautiful beast that ran in the W.P. lines in the Sierra Nevadas.  They were built in 2 batches in the 1930s.  Is anybody interested in having a model of this engine -either 2 or 3 rail? If we could get enough interest, maybe Scott Mann would also be interested!

There are a lot of other really great photos out there that I tried to post but they posted fragmented.

 

Best way to me to get them was to email the "250" page to myself under "file" then print out my own email.  But when I try to post it on OGR it aborts.

 

Does any one else see these big engines, 80 foot passenger cars along with rocket ships and submarines as an importer's subliminal ploy to our phallic narcissim?

 

 

 

 

Hi Guys,

 

The WP had 2 classes of these 2-8-8-2's.  So we have to choose which one to have built. There are many differences between the 2 classes: drivers, tenders, feedwater heaters come to mind.  So we have to narrow it down and give a manufacturer our request.

 

I would love to see one brought in.  I would purchase either class.

 

Steve
