MONON (C.I.&L.)
2-6-6-6

Anyone remember this engine?
The number is not right, have no idea what the number was going to be.
And I like this tender better.

It was to be called the Monon type and was a proposed articulated locomotive.

Yes
Could not resist making one for the train simulator.
Should have made a 4-6-6-4 from a Clinchfield design because the Monon was keeping an eye on those and probably would have gotten them had they not decided to Diesel conversion early.

How about a short video clip when you have time.  Those are so cool.

Cool idea, I do not have any steam clips, I'll load the fraps back in and make a steam trip.
The question is, should I make it a helper up the Knobs or by the Tree of Hope. Or out front pulling?

Your the pro, you never fail to impress me with this stuff.  That one of you riding in the LYNNE is impressive.

Question
Monon fans should recognize this spot from a photo.
Yes the location is partly hidden and the fence is not there, I like fences.
Where am I ?

Will post more pictures eventually.

Tom do not answer this.

Rick, when I tried to use some steam on the Monon in the simulator, I found the fuel usage to be really unrealistic.  For example I could make it from the North to the south with no need to stop for water or coal!  Seems a bit suspect to me, although I'm not sure how many times steam power would have to stop for fuel between Chicago and Louisville.

Heath

Are you in explore mode?

If so, it never runs out.

Rick, the trees and foliage used in TrainSims look SO much better now.  It used to look like Montana--now it really looks like Indiana.  Have you ever tried autumn colors?

Nope, I set up a passenger activity to test it out, a simple Chicago to Louisville one.  The water/coal was going down, but at a really low rate.  My guess is that the internal calculations on the engine I was using were not correct.  I only tested one, just wondered if anyone else saw the same issue.
