The N&W Steam Streamliner that Never Was

This is a Trainz model of a fictitious locomotive. It's basically a N&W J-class 4-8-4 scaled down to 2-8-4 size.  The Norfolk & Western never made a streamlined 2-8-4, but in the wonderful world of Trainz, things that "never were" are possible!

By the use of a little imagineering, it's possible to create a "back story" on this  fictional streamliner. But that's a tale for another day. ;)

I plan to make the Trainz model of this steam streamliner available as freeware in the near future. Check back here for updates...

In this Youtube video, the steamlined 2-8-4 stretches its legs on a run on B&O trackage that crosses the scenic Allegheny Mountains. What is a N&W steam locomotive doing on the B&O? What that is yet another tale for telling at a later date! Besides, it's 1942 and the mission of the train is offically "classified", according to the War Dept. ;) In this video, the locomotive makes use of the Steam Soundz: Modern Medium NA Steam enginesound files,which can be found by searching the Trainz Download Station (DLS) for: kuid:123250:1103
