PRR L-1s 2-8-2 Mikado Fall 2011 Update New Announcements Fall 2011 Newsletter

CANADIAN PACIFIC P-2e MIKADO
Beginning with P2e sub-class 5360 one-piece cast bed and a multiple throttle were major improvements. The most noticeable difference in appearance came with the introduction of semi-streamlined engines as in other classes that distinguished CPR power. Sunset Models will be building the P-2e, a work horse for the CPR for both freight and passenger duty.

    "MOLLIES" 4-8-0

    The first of the N&W's "Mollies" (as the crews called these 4-8-0s), these engines were supplied by Alco-Richmond (75) and Baldwin (50). In a long, and very good essay on the N&W "Remarkable 4-8-0s", Thomas Dressler notes that these engines were the railroad's main-line freight haulers and very successful this first batch were. Described as a Consolidation with a 4-ft longer boiler, these engines didn't break any new ground but did provide better riding qualities and more power on essentially the same wheelbase.

    The 4-8-0 at Strasburg is an EX-N&W M with high mounted headlight and shorter 4 wheel truck tender.

    2-8-4

    The Baldwin Locomotive Works received an order for thirty-five "Berkshires" from the Erie in 1928. They were designated as Class S-3 and assigned road numbers 3350 through 3384. A final twenty "Berks" were ordered in 1928 and came from Lima in 1929. This group was designated as Class S-4 and carried road numbers 3385 through 3404. (www.steamlocomotive.com). The primary difference in these two classes are the road number and some tender details. 

    Both will be detailed as they were in the late 40s and early 50s with modified running gear and modernized appliances. Show your interest by ordering. The more orders the lower the final price will be.

    Santa Fe 2900 Class 4-8-4

    The AT&SF used its 4-8-4s for passenger service. Since its main line stretching over 2200 miles (Chicago to California), the AT&SF had a real need for excellent motive power.

    Convinced that the Northerns could handle its needs, AT&SF ordered 11 more in 1938 with 80" drivers (known as Class 3765 and included road numbers 3765 through 3775) with another 10 ordered in 1941 (Class 3776, including road numbers 3776 through 3785)

    The last group of 30 were built in 1943 and 1944. Wartime shortages of material resulted in ordinary metals being used for their construction. As a result, they were the heaviest Northerns ever built. They out weighed their nearest rivals by over 2000 pounds. This group was known as Class 2900 and included road numbers 2900 through 2929.
