OP&P Triplex Pack

Had this sitting around for a while now, i figured why not upload it.

Bear that in mind i made this Triplex from scratch, not Jeranios's Triplex.


History
The P-4's are 2-8-8-8-4 Triplex Steam Locomotives built by the Northern Locomotive Works in 1953 for the Oregon Portland & Pacific Railroad, the P-4's were the last NLW built Steam Locomotives, only 15 were produced, which were nmbered 4900 though 4914, they were use to pull Freight Trains and Helper Service in much of their career, these locomotives were very successful & more powerful than the Erie & Virginian Triplexes, with 104.087 pounds of Tractive Effort. However in 1956, one of these P-4's had suffered a derailment, on July 24th, 1956, No. 4911 was pulling a Freight Train from Seattle, Washington, to Vancouver, Washington, the locomotive was going on 28 MPH when the Engineer wasn't pay attention to the speed limit so as such the P-4 derailed, 3 People were injured, while 1 was killed, following the derailment. the engine went to OP&P's Portland Shops in Portland, Oregon for major repairs and then continue to do its normal operating duties. The P-4's will continue to serve the OP&P until 1963 when all of them were retired, only one have saved, No. 4913 was preserved by OP&P, and it was put into storage for several decades, in 2024, when a R-1 2-10-4 No. 2514 was being sold to the Cumberland Region (Pennsy's Railroad Museum), the railroad give the engine a cosmetic restoration and put on display where 2514 used to be on display. As of today, 4913 is still on static display and the only preserved Triplex Locomotive in the World as of right now as Seattle, Albany, & San Francisco T-1 2-8-8-8-2 Triplex No. 900 being rebuild from scratch after being scrapped in 1958.
