(...) Streamlining was used b/c of the Pionner Zephyr. Then streamlining was put on PRR K4 3768 and turned out to be a flashy locomotive. Other railroads did the same but they found that it tampered with maintence, which was more important then (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I didn't know that - it's surprising actually, given the distances over which freight can be hauled in the US. I know the trains can be extremely long, and it's an old movie cliché for escaped convicts with their legs chained together to still (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) As a P.S. to my reply; I would, but I won't be going to the next one. You could ask in loc.uk if you really fancy it. But, be warned - I couldn't find any dark red (nor sand red in fact) in two visits there, and believe me I looked. If they (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm not sure that lack of streamlining in US locomotives is due to lack of emission controls. I suspect it's far more because trains aren't operated at speeds which require it. Note that the Amtrack locomotives are reasonably streamlined (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Dan, it depends in the first line of the prototype you try to model. If it is a product of pure phantasy, just do it the way you think it is best looking. My favorite engine has a cab of 4x7 (length x width!), but the cabs roof is 6x6. The (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
