if we had just sent and E2 and plenty of eastern region locomotives to barry, we'd be so much happier... if they're making a P2, a massive 2-8-2, why not just spare some metal for a simple 0-6-0T E2? ._.
@Tomthetrainfan well it doesnt matter if making plans from scratch counts as making a new class of locomotive, who cares? if it looks like and E2, the new class could be marked as an E2/2
is there and footage of real e2s?

e2 were scrapped sadly but maybe not cut up yet

@kirbyfan600
cutting up always happened when locos were scrapped

@Tomthetrainfan what happens to locomotives after they're cut up.

@Nictrain123 the parts get shipped off to a scrap dealer who sells them on to smelters
they get melted down and recycled into new metal products
