Name That Locomotive Game

Ok, its a 2-10-0, and green



SRC #90

You're right! Good job.

The Erie P-1 tiplex, the Matt H. Shay. Only 3 built between 1914 and 1916. It was built to carry 640 50 ton cars the problem was that the couplers on the cars in the 20's couldn't hold that weight and it only went up to 10 mph.

Technically there was only one Matt H. Shay..your quote reads like there were three of them.

yes, there were three Erie P1 2-8-8-8-2 triplexes, but only the first one was named Matt H. Shay, the other two were un-named.

and they could go faster than 10 mph.

and its Triplex, not Tiplex.

Scot, being literal for the sake of historical accuracy.

FWIW, the Virginian also had a Triplex, built to the same design, but with a 4-wheel trailing truck at the back of the tender.  It fared no better than the Erie engines, and was eventually turned into 3 Mikados.

That engine is near canada, also looks like a porter. Not sure what the road name is. #12.

nope!

[Dusten Barefoot]

Was I close? I can clearly make out a 2, well not clearly see, but I can tell there is a 2 there

[kevin2083]

it is number 12, but  nowhere near canada.

[Dusten Barefoot]

The engine is out some were in the midwest, colorodo? Well here is a pic that is a tricky, tell me the road name and who built the engine.

You are supposed to wait until the last one is done before posting a new one.
yours is Linville River Railway #1, a Shay locomotive built by the Lima Locomotive Works and completed on November 9, 1904.

It is an existing/surviving Shay, currently on display Goshen, Virginia.
The owner is looking for cylinders to restore it...its original cyliners are gone, because it was converted to diesel power at one time!

Back to the little Saddletanker on the last page, which is still in play.

I will be dag on! You get a Engineer hat for that! Sorry for the little skip, but as areosmith said, lets get back in the saddle again. Like I said it is numberd twelve, looks like it is in colorodo.

[kevin2083]

still a no. and I was wrong, it's not #12, but the last number is a 2. It IS operational, if this helps.

looking for 2 of 3: location, roadname, and number

I know all that for a fact. And thanks for noticing that typo.

uh huh, sure you did..so you wrote your quote wrong on purpose then?

Scot

[kevin2083]

Roadname, number, and description blurred, anybody want to try? 

heres a hint- it runs in a loop like so many beginner layouts

[Dusten Barefoot]

George Town Loop?

[kevin2083]

nope. I'll give it until 9:00 pm and then someone else can post a picture. I didn't think this one would be that hard.
