I am Starting to like Leo now

[BhanuHabbo]

They should try to build one of these, like they did with Tornado :P

[trainlover658]

[Tomthetrainfan]

@trainlover658 he... limped, so to speak. some pipes were still working, but he was dragged into the yard by a diesel

[kirbyfan600]

e2 were scrapped sadly but maybe not cut up yet

[Tomthetrainfan]

@kirbyfan600

cutting up always happened when locos were scrapped

[Nictrain123]

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

[Tomthetrainfan]

@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

[trainlover658]

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]

@trainlover658

simply because as far as we know, no plans remain =(

[trainlover658]

@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

[disneyrangerblue02]

@trainlover658 Or an E2X, if you prefer that.

[hwbpa3]

i hope a preserved railway or mabye york railway museum will build a brand new E2 ethier from spare parts or from scratch :)

[Tomthetrainfan]

@hwbpa3

so do i...

[hwbpa3]

@Tomthetrainfan a bit like tornado

[kirbyfan600]

with extended side tanks and a splasher!

[MrOliverGWR11]

if it wasn't scrapped, add a lick of blue, red and yellow paint.......... and it's Thomas in real life!

[Tomthetrainfan]

true, very true! ^^

[NewController01]

I'd make him if I have the chance

[Tomthetrainfan]
