A surprising number of the machines illustrated there could have been real, including the super Hudson that was apparently inspired by the Niagara (and would have given the C&O L-2 a run for the money as the heaviest Hudsons built), and the 2-10-2 based on a Mohawk that is a good looker. I can imagine that series at work on the never completed South Penn line that eventually provided the bones to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I wonder how that line would have looked, by the way, coming into my home city of Wheeling, W.Va. (proposed western terminal), with those NYC fantasy 2-10-2s running parallel to the B&O from Elm Grove (my neighborhood) and rubbing elbows with B&O Mallets and PRR Decapods on the interchange tracks that would have been in the neighborhood of Fulton, where one set of my grandparents lived. |

You raise some interesting possibilities. I'm not a modeler, but it would be fun to see some of these "fantasy" NYC engines become models. In fact, one of them did! http://www.railarchive.net/nyccollection/nyc_4917.htm (Scroll to bottom of page) |
