Trainz is a series of 3D train simulator video games.The Australian studio Auran (since 2007 N3V Games) released the first game in 2001.. The simulators consist of route and session editors called Surveyor, and a Driver module that loads a route and lets the player operate and watch the trains run in either "DCC" mode, which simulates a bare-bones Digital Command Control (DCC) system for the ...
LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard is a 4-6-2 ("Pacific") steam locomotive built in 1938 for operation on the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Nigel Gresley. Its streamlined , wind tunnel tested [ 1 ] design allowed it to haul long distance express passenger services at high speeds.
Great Smoky Mountains Railroad 1702 is an S160 class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive built in September 1942 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, originally for the U.S. Army Transportation Corps during World War II.
In the final years of steam on the NYC, No. 3001 and the other L-3s were demoted to lighter trains, due to the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE) 2-8-4 Berkshires and 4-8-4 Niagaras handling increasingly heavier freight and passenger trains on the system. As the new diesel locomotives entered the NYC regions, No. 3001 and the other steam ...
The result was the K4 class 4-6-2 Pacific, which was designed under the supervision of PRR Chief of Motive Power J.T. Wallis, assisted by Chief Mechanical Engineer Alfred W. Gibbs and Mechanical Engineer Axel Vogt, as one of a pair of classes with the L1 class 2-8-2 Mikado, sharing the same boiler design and other features.
RailDriver is a desktop cab controller for train simulation software. It replaces keyboard and mouse operation as far as possible to provide a more realistic train driving experience. [1] [2] It is designed to be compatible with Microsoft Train Simulator. [3] N3V's Trainz, BVE Trainsim and World of Subways [4] also support RailDriver.
The 2-8-2 saw great success in the United States, mostly as a freight locomotive. In the 1910s it largely replaced the 2-8-0 Consolidation as the main heavy freight locomotive type. Its tractive effort was similar to that of the best 2-8-0s, but a developing requirement for higher speed freight trains drove the shift to the 2-8-2 wheel arrangement.
The Class 8620 (8620形) is a type of 2-6-0 steam locomotive built in Japan from 1914 to 1929. It was Japan's first mass-produced passenger locomotive. A total of 672 Class 8620 locomotives were built. [1]
