Emerald Express 6437 (4-8-2) steamer - front
The loco you see here was cobbled together from my 2-6-0 and a lot of extra parts. The name of the railroad (Brick Railway Systems) is supposed to go on the tender walls, but the printed 1 x 1 tile parts haven't been ordered yet to do so. Also, this loco has a fictional backstory:
This 4-8-2 (4 leading, 8 drivers, and 2 trailing wheels) Mountain – type locomotive numbered 6437 was built in the mid 1930's by Baldwin Locomotive Works. The type 6437 belongs to was designed for both freight duty and passenger traffic and as such were not streamlined. This type are basically enlarged versions of the Mountain types of 1926, and are same mechanically though the heavier weight cuts the top speed down to about 95 MPH. The Emerald Express, pulled by a overworked 2-6-0 since 1917, was upgraded with 4-8-2 number 6437 in 1936 when another coach was added to the train, and was painted a dark green to match the heavy-weight rolling stock.
