NYC streamlined 4-6-4 steam loco with coal train (Iron Giant scene inspired)
This Dreyfuss-style streamlined 4-6-4 steam loco is to be numbered 5448 and is mostly modeled after a real, long-scrapped New York Central engine. The MOC was inspired by Anthony Sava and his Hudson models.
Each one of the five identical coal hopper models is an essentially a recolored version of set 10017 - Hopper Wagon from the My Own Train line from 2001. (Was that really nearly 23 years ago already?!?) As the cars are all exactly the same, I needed a picture of just one to convey the image of all five.
And yes, I know the streamlined Hudson's never pulled freight in the real world. HOWEVER: The Iron Giant animated film has a New York Central streamlined Hudson pulling a coal train that is badly wrecked (accidentally) by the robot. As I have the Iron Giant model already built, this train was a no-brainer to build. Along with the engine and tender, there are five coal hoppers and one caboose.
