Just as the retirement of a group of 1870s vintage Americans left class J open for the Atlantics, the retirement of the Atlantics left the class designation open for a group of streamlined Northerns put into service between 19.ДЄ Lima class B 28 ton 2 truck shay. Even though the Pacific type was introduced to the N&W in 1905, the J class continued to operate expresses on the level sections of the system for years, until the introduction of the E3 class Pacifics in the early 1930s. As trains grew longer and cars became heavier, most railroads replaced their Atlantics with Pacifics, downgrading Atlantics to local or commuter service.

The large drivers made the problem worse. Only fifty-one percent of the locomotive's weight was on the drivers. The Atlantic type, while very popular at the turn of the century, quickly fell out of favor due a lack of tractive effort. In December 1904, the class grew to seven locomotives with the addition of engine 606. In addition, the class J employed the largest driving wheels that would ever be used on the N&W. These Atlantics introduced the N&W to the wide firebox over a trailing truck, which would be employed on many future locomotives. In 1903, the railroad purchased a group of six Atlantics, which were assigned numbers 600 to 605 and class J. The engines in service were several classes of Americans, along with the V and A class Ten Wheelers. (trw1089)ДЄround the turn of the century, the Norfolk and Western was seeking faster passenger motive power. (trw1089)ДЄn 0-4-0T, typical of the hundreds ALCo built for stock in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s. These were typical 4-4-0s of the era, with similar engines built by most US locomotive builders. The three Virginia & Truckee Baldwin 4-4-0s: Reno, Genoa, and Inyo. While built in the 1910s-1920s, some remained in service on shortlines well into the 1960s. Templates for reskinners included.ДЄ light Baldwin 2-8-2, common on logging lines and short lines. Harriman standard locomotives were used by Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Illinois Central, Chicago & Alton, and Gulf & Ohio. These two locomotives were present at Promontory Summit on May 10th, 1869, for the joining of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific.ДЄ basic Harriman Standard 4-4-2. This pack contains Union Pacific's #119, and Central Pacific's #60, Jupiter. The included reskins are C&S, CS&CCD, CM and D&RG, all circa the 1890s. I encourage others to reskin it, as well. While many had been scrapped in the 1920s, the first of the class lasted until 1947, and some others lasted into the mid 1950s.ДЄ few of my own reskins of the NP F1. Thanks in part to their low 51 inch drivers and high tractive effort, the F1s enjoyed a long life. 7 members of the class were sold to the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle. Over time, the class spread out over the NP's Pacific Northwestern lines, doing all sorts of branchline jobs, often hauling log trains, or switching in smaller yards. These engines were initally designed to work on Cascade Pass as helpers. 33 were built over a period of two years. When the Northern Pacific's F1 class 2-8-0s were first built in 1888, they were some of the largest engines in the world. This model shows #98 as it appeared in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Technically it is a Baltimore & Ohio C-16 class 0-4-0T, one of four such engines built by Baldwin in 1912. This should be familiar to most model railroaders.
