Norfolk & Western Railway, A class 2-6-6-4 Steam Locomotive
Norfolk & Western's "Mercedes of Steam", these articulateds featured the latest steam locomotive technology when introduced in the late 1930s. A total of 43 A class locomotives were built in the N&W's own shops at Roanoke, Virginia. Capable of 125,897 pounds of tractive effort, and able to pull passenger trains at 70 mph, the A class is one of the all time great steam locomotives. A class no. 1218 is preserved at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke Virginia.
My LEGO model of 1218 features working Baker valve gear, and is powered by two Power Functions XL motors in the tender driving through the tender trucks.
