streamlined 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive with Gotham Flyer passenger train
I've decided to replace my 4-6-2+2-6-4 Garratt with a 4-6-4 Hudson featuring Dreyfuss-type styling similar to the type used on the 20th Century Limited. Now, this engine is not owned by the New York Central, but by Gotham Central Railroad. (Yep: The same Gotham of Batman fame!) I figured that because I built the ACE Chemicals sign a while back, I might as well continue down the art-deco path with a loco inspired by Tim Burton's take on Batman's home city. As such, I named the train this engine pulls (already constructed IRL in 2019) the 'Gotham Flyer'.
As some of you might have guessed, this loco was inspired by pictures of Anthony Sava' streamlined Hudosn loco and Tequila Sunrise train from 2007. See it here: www.flickr.com/photos/savatheaggie/1338258406/in/album-72...
