USA “Washington” 4-4-0
USA “Washington” 4-4-0
Old-timey 4-4-0 is big
built for the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad in 1850, Washington was constructed rather differently from the later 4-4-0 designs of the 1860s. Washington had inside cylinders, outside frames, a large smokestack, and a small cab nestled between the wheels.
Apart from the Americana like the smokestack, lamp, bell, and cowcatcher, this locomotive would not look out of place on British railways at the time.
This locomotive is available in 1850 as a starter loco, sports 125hp, and will get up to 35mph if you ask it nicely. The Vanilla 4-4-0 General is a little weak and poorly balanced, so I recommend going for my, somewhat older, American 4-4-0 pack if you want a few more examples of locomotives that are better balanced.
