[OTTD] American Passenger Set 1.0
Posted: 21 Aug 2013 22:53
UPDATE 11-15-13
I have removed the set as it stands because I had misused paulicus25's graphics, so I'm removing them. Also, I'm migrating this set to https://sites.google.com/site/americanpassengerset/.
Overview
This set is a set of passenger equipment that was or is used on American railroads. This is my first project using NML, and I'm still learning about it, so there might be some features that I will not be able to implement for a while. This set is designed to supplement NARS.
The Trains
Milwaukee Class A 4-4-2
This locomotive was one of the first streamlined steam locomotives in America. Milwaukee used them to power thier Hiawatha trains from 1935-1951. They were designed to maintain 100 mph and achieve 120mph maximum. They were designed to haul five-car consists. In this set they can reach a steady speed of 112 mph on level ground with this consist.
Graphics by me.
Milwaukee Class F7 4-6-4
This locomotive was invented when the Hiawatha was enlarged to nine cars to handle increased ridership, and the Class As couldn't handle it. They were extremely succesful and even faster than the Class As, being able to cruise at 110mph in the middle of a snowstorm. They had the fastest schedule out of any steam locomotive in the world, with one segment being scheduled at an average of 81mph. A passenger on the train once recorded a steady speed of 120mph which peaked at 125mph, placing it on par with the Mallard, which is the official record holder for steam speed.
Graphics by me.
Southern Pacific GS-4 4-8-4
The Southern Pacific was no stranger to high-speed passenger service either; it's GS-4s were capable of 110mph and powerful enough to haul up to 20 cars if needed. They were used even after most other railroads had dieselized their passenger trains, only being retired in 1958. SP #4449 is a preserved GS-4, and it is one of the most famous surviving steam locomotives in America.

Southern Pacific Mt-4 4-8-2
This engine could be considered to be a predecessor to the GS-4. It was very similar, only lacking one trailing axle and the side skirts. They were not famous like the GS-4, and none survive, but in my opinion they are much more interesting. A few were painted in Daylight colors, but the boiler was left unskirted and black. There is not much information on these locmotives, so some of the stats are estimated.

Southern Pacific P-14 4-6-2
SP's P type 4-6-2s were very numerous. They had P-1s through P-14s, with a total of 146 units produced. A few P-7s, P-10s, and P-14s were converted for use with the Daylight trains, and some of the P-14s were skirted like the GS-4s. This is how they are represented in this set. Again, not much information is available, so some of it is estimated.
