Description
I had a idea to make some Southern Pacific trains and I came up with the P-14 (or Sunbeam) and the P-10.

Then the MT-4 came into mind and decided to make it into Rolling Lines.

History:
Successors of the "P" class Pacifics, the MT Class Mountains were originally intended for passenger service. To quote the S.P.'s publicity department, these locomotives were designed "To provide its passenger patrons with the fastest and most modern service available."

The general design and specifications for these remarkable Espee engines were worked up under the direction of the Espee's George McCormick and Frank E. Russell, Assistant Mechanical Engineer. Ten engines were contracted out to the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) early in 1923, to be delivered later that year. ( A staggering feat, by any mans standards! ) Final details were worked out at Schenectady between the ALCO's engineers and top men from the S.P.'s mechanical department.

In later years these locomotives could be found literally all over the system where fast motive power was required. Fast freights, Commuter Service, even Helper Service on notorious mountain passes such as Donner and Tehachapi.

SP 4352
Locomotive #4352 was the seventh locomotive to be classed "MT-4" that the Sacramento shops created. 4352 is as up-to-the-minute as these graceful ladies ever became !

With her "Skyline" encased boiler, multiple bearing crossheads and guides, and that beautiful Daylight paint job, she was undoubtedly the pride of the San Joaquin Daylight fleet back in the day.

#4352 and #4353 were sisters in the flesh. Both were assigned to the San Joaquin Daylight train which ran between Sacramento and Los Angeles.

#4352 remained in service until July of 1955.

SP 4349
Not really much information of SP 4349 but here some info.

The Southern Pacific MT-4 4349 was a steam locomotive built in the mid-1920s and used for both passenger and freight service until the end of the steam era.

4349 was a prototype engine at Gerber, California on October 30, 1949. It has the features shown above on SP 4311, but has a front-end throttle (as did the entire Mt-4 and -5 classes). Like many Mt engines after 1945, it has received multiple-bearing crossheads in place of the original alligators. It is pretty dirty, suggesting that it may have been due for a shopping, at which times locomotives were often painted.

Whats in the pack?
2 MT-4 4-8-2 engines with (3-step) whistle, bell with head lights and number boards
1 120-C-6 tender Made from scratch with number boards and light
1 160-C-1 tender Made from scratch with number boards and light

Train Numbers:
4349 (Freight/Skyline casing) and 4352 (Skyline casing/De-skirt Daylight)

Hows the trains:
textures 100% (The texture for the train)
Model 100% (The engine and tender)
Template 100% (texture on the train or UV)
Sounds 97% (whistles and bells)

Credits:
* Cinnamon for giving me permission to transform his Gs-2 into a Mt-4 and textures
* Me for modeling the tender and other stuff by scratch
*Whistle 4352 is the same as the Streamlined P-10, but 4349 is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUhD6E

It should be fixed, because I slowed it down (the animation) and compared it to other steam loco motives if it's good or not. However, I am thinking to change and re-animate the driving wheels again but for the full-scale pack since this is semi-scale.

I like the model, but my only criticism is that the rods turn way too fast
I like it but it has a sorta annoying flaw
I kiss trains for a living! 14 Oct, 2024 @ 9:32am

No, the whistle came from a 1932 show with an MT-1.
