Here's all the streamlined steam engines i've acquired so far! I have a couple more on the list, like the Hornby A4 "Silver Link" and the American Hiawatha locomotive. There's a few more which aren't made by anyone, but pictures of them are on the closing picture. As for my own design, I'm thinking of buying a standard engine, which I'll build the streamlined casing on top of.

  • @HaloXIIII Thanks!

  • Nice concept idea, looks kinda like the CB&Q's Aelous (preserved de-streamlined) and the NYC's Commodore Vanderbilt (1st streamlined steamer) put together. I'd really like to see that in action!

  • @SouthwesternSteam Oh yes, I designed it with those two in mind. The idea being, that it would look good next to the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha, and the CB&Q Pioneer Zephyrs. I need to find a strong mechanism to build the shell onto first....

  • @ streamlinedtrains, in the begining, are you referring to the PRR S1 6-4-4-6?

  • @boonpole84 No - I'd love to have one of those, but its the N&W Class J Northern. Bachmann Spectrum made it, but it doesn't like corners, and the pilot has a very low profile.

see all

  • The Dreyfuss Hudson is my favorite streamlined locomotive too.

  • You could at least run one!

  • A nice addition to this collection would be a streamlined German 03

  • Will you ever get the wonderful Norfolk and Western J 4-8-4 No. 611? They have very nice side rods.

  • Nice you got the GS4 Daylight steam locomotive she turn 70 years old in 2011 and still going strong.

  • ATSF 3460 was built as part of a 1937 order. Its experimental streamlining did not take for several reasons. The added weight of the streamlining limited the 4-6-4 locomotive's performance and made for a rough ride.

    With the debut of the Super Chief in 1939, ATSF began to dieselize. WWII slowed the process, but the fate of streamlined steam was sealed on ATSF.  The Blue Goose survived until 1956, but its F and E unit replacements were stunning in their own right, splendid in warbonnet paint.

  • there were 28 gs-4s and only one survivor

  • I really,really like IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
