4-6-0 Steam Locomotive 08
Because of the helpful information in
MrSteamEngine 's critique,
I decided to try to make the cylinders look less like D-Valve and more
like "Economy Valve". I also fixed the problems with height without
redrawing the background.
ET&CC stands for East Tennessee and Central Carolina. That is the railroad this locomotive belongs to.
The locomotive is a wood burner, and it has air brakes, slotted knuckle couplings, balloon stack, and it is superheated.
The
ET&CC is a merger of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina
Railroad, and the Central Carolina Railroad (both of which were narrow
gauge), by the state of North Carolina after WWII so the people formerly
"served," by the railroads would have their railroad.
The railroad
decided to buy and upgrade old steam locomotives, for it,s motive power,
most money went to rebuilding the washed out track and building the
loops to connect the two railroads.
Though most of the railroad
remains narrow gauge #15 is standard gauge. The railroad has a lot of
2nd hand cars that have link and pin couplings so the locomotive has a
slotted knuckle coupling, that also swings to the side to align with the
narrow gauge cars.
The Locomotive is SRCs today.
