Hey everyone! So here I have several locomotives that I'm working on. I will do individual posts on these locomotives (and full trains where applicable) at some point in time, and once all posted I will likely delete this post. Because these are still WIP I have decided to not edit these screenshots. If you guys have any suggestions on how I can improve these let me know in the comments! Without further adieu let's have a look at these locomotives!



First off is the Central RR of New Jersey (CNJ) G3s Pacific, used for the "Blue Comet" passenger train. I think this looks pretty good so far, I think there's a few more details I might be able to add/redo, but other than that it's not bad at first glance. It's instantly recognizable. I plan to build the whole train at some point in time. More info on the Blue Comet, and also builders drawings of the G3s Pacific, can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Comet


Next up is the Southern Railroad's Ps-4 Pacific, used on the "Crescent Limited". Again, I'm alright with the looks of this locomotive. It looks good. I do wish there was a closer shade of green to match, however I feel the dark green is a bit too dark, and the neon green is obviously way too bright! If anyone has any suggestions on a closer match of color please let me know in the comments below! A full train is planned for this engine as well. More info on the Southern Railroad's "Crescent Limited" and Amtrak's modern day rendition of it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_(train)



Our third locomotive is a favorite of mine. This is Reading Blue Mountain & Northern #425. It is a Baldwin built 4-6-2 Pacific type locomotive that runs in PA. It is a former Gulf Mobile & Ohio locomotive. This is the locomotive's current appearance and paint scheme. Comment below if you'd like to see me do the other versions of it! Read the interesting history of the 425 right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Blue_Mountain_and_Northern_Railroad_425 and you can find more information on riding behind the 425 here: http://www.rbmnrr.com/steam/



Next up is the Norfolk & Western M class 4-8-0. I don't have a whole lot to say about this, except I'll likely redesign this engine. I just think I can do better on the overall design of it. I've done both the centered headlight and boilertop headlight versions as you can see here. The #475 still operates at the Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg, PA.

This next locomotive is a freelanced model. It is based on Brodzinski Central #76, a Tyco 2-6-2 I've rebuilt in HO scale. It is the same locomotive in my profile picture, and since that picture has been taken the 76 has surely changed a lot! Again, not much to say, I like this locomotive so I think I'll keep this design and build a full train for it at some point. As a side note, the auxiliary tender is made from #76's old tender.



Last but not least is a bit of bonus content. These are some New York Central locomotives I've built, a 2-8-4, an 0-6-0, a 2-6-6T, and a 2-6-6-2 (still WIP). These are older designs, so I'll likely redo these ones, but I thought I'd at least throw them in anyway.



Thanks to all those who view this! Expect to see individual posts of these locomotives and their trains at some point in the near future. If you'd like to see tutorials let me know! Leave your thoughts down below in the comments! Have a great day!
