The Brass Hybrid Broadway
Limited T&P 2-10-4 was researched and designed from over 300 detailed
photographs of the fully restored and beautifully preserved operating T&P
I-1a "Texas" 2-10-4 located in Palestine, Texas. The work resulting in
highly detailed CADs was "cross referenced" and "proofed" with historical
photographs from several distinguished collections including Harold K.
Vollraths extensive work on the T&P before it was turned over to our master
builders for execution. Our model represents this legendary locomotive "in
service" circa 1948.
Built by Lima in 1927, the
prototype was upgraded through the years. All upgrades to the original issue
were done in the railroads Marshall and Fort Worth, Texas shops. The "I" or
"Texas" class defined T&P superpower the mission of which was hauling long
and heavy freights across the torturous grades and enormous distances of
West Texas between Fort Worth and El Paso. In practice, these locomotives
fit the mission perfectly and are often called the apogee of American heavy
steam freight locomotive design and function.
The T&P lineage of this
model is obvious and striking in that the boiler and steam jackets are
painted using the actual shop formula in use through the years for the T&Ps
unique "Russia Iron"; the iconic "beetle browed" Elesco Feedwater heater;
appropriate T&P "shields"; correct capped or flared stack; highly detailed
backhead and cab interior including engine crew; correct steam booster
engine on trailing truck; correct Boxpok center drive wheels; fully lighted
headlight and backup light on tender; working smoke density light; and
properly designed and executed "dog house" on the massive tender. In every
way imaginable, our "Texas" class locomotive is a work of art and catches
perfectly the image of this major technical and operational railroad
milestone and icon.
The Freedom Train "edition"
represents the T&P #610 in its 1976 Freedom Train livery as it participated
in the Bi-Centennial tour through Louisiana and Texas.
The Southern Railway
"edition" represents the T&P #610 while on lease to the Southern functioning
as power for their excursion trains during the late 1970s.
Upon return to the Texas
State Railroad, it was repainted into the all black, white trim and
yellow-gold livery in which it exists today.
This mammoth steamer is a T&P icon and is one of our
most requested specialty locomotives. Production will be limited to the
preorders we receive through our dealer network. Dont miss out. Preorder
today.
