@Train2590 Their not for sale. IAIS still owns them and they will be at Trainfestival 2011, which I plan on going to.

The QJs were built by the Datong Locomotive works.

I didn't realize that the Chinese had the same track guage as the Americans. What with the extensive British inluence in Phina's history I thought they'd have Europen guage tracks.

@Swindly most the time you have to build your fire up to get a high amount of pressure for the sudden amount of steam that is needed to pull away with a heavy load this cause's black smoke if you tried to keep your smoke clear you would have to stop to regain the boiler pressure

waaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzza

I properly operating Steam Engine will not blow black smoke. If the fuel is put in correctly the steam will stay white.
