Just wanted to let you know about this.

So, you want to put that behemoth on Cape Gauge? Sorry, but that's not going ton work. It's too big.

That JNR ten wheeler was a tank. 0-10-0. I'll see if I can find it.

But they had a 2-10-4 tank.

In Japan, however, ten drivers was very rare and I am only aware of the one class, if which very few were built.

Ten drivers existed. Ten drivers were very common, actually. Go look at Russian Decapods, the USRA 2-10-0 (based on the Decapod), and the A.T.S.F. 2-10-0, which later was upgraded to the 2-10-4 Texas class. There was also a multitude of turbines with large wheel counts and lota of five-axle rolling stock such as the 4-10 Centipede Tender used by the A.T.S.F., U.P., and NYC.

I forgot to mention, it's meant for mixed traffic.

And the 4 wheel guide truck and tailing truck makes it the best for navigating tight turns, and for a larger fire box.

At any rate if you have a frame bigger that 8 drivers, say like 10 drivers, it would derail just like the soviet class aa20-1.

I said it was based off the Niagara.

Yeah, there is no way you're going to fit a bigger Niagra on Cape Gauge. There was a resson the D51 was the largest. There was only one E steamer, but I cannot recall the name. Didn't have pilot or trailer wheels ans they ran it in reverse most of the time in mountain helper services. MicroAce has a model in N scale.

Yeah good point. But ease of mantonance is my goal for this loco.
And its partly based off of the New York Central niagaras.

so what you've just made is a locomotive larger than a Lima Berkshire for a gauge that is narrower than Standard. That will not work. That loco will be very top heavy and will not take turns at any sort of speed.

And an 80" diamitor boiler.

I know but just wanted you tell you that but just picture a D51 on a 4-8-4 frame. And roller bearings on all axles i forgot to mention.

stats mean nothing without an image

I know but i just wanted you tell you about my fantasy train for Japanese railways.
The stats are the following, 4-8-4 Wheel config, 260 PSI, 80" diamiter boiler, and a tractive effort of 46,810 lbs.

Exactly. I can make my own fantasy trains, and trains that actually exist, but not someone else's fantasy trains.

Btw i know why you cant make it, Because you dont even know what i looks like

No no i'm telling you about this loco.

I cannot make someone else's custom things, sorry.

Sorry, This loco is something i thought of my self.
I can tell you the stats if you like.

Link?

No No The E1 is an imaginary Japanese steam loco.

The Shinkansen?
I am not building Shinkansens, sorry.

Have you heard of the E1?

there's a DD51, that's close enough right? Just one extra letter?

Joking aside, I've put further steam based builds on hold for now untill I can get some bugs worked out of my drive rod system. If I can gt those to work well, then I'll make some more steam locos.

Can you make a class D51 and a class C62?

Thank you!
Going to see if I can make more coaches, as these can be used as a good base for pretty much any coach post the JNR split. Hopefully I'll be able to get some named trains made.

look good, feels very asian
