Got yourself a couple of real brutes there. Real beauties Exactly what are they, don't know a lot about Western steam power.

The prototypes were the crown jewels of the ATSF's steam fleet. The Northerns (as far as I am aware) outlasted any other type of steam locomotive on the Santa Fe roster.

Isn't the old roadbed with the ties just a wonderful scenic effect. Well done, Jon!

Can't tell if those are Baldwin locomotives or not however Santa Fe ordered many steam locomotives from Baldwin Locomotive Works. Looking though a book on Baldwin Locomotives and ran across the A.T.& S.F. name alot. Third Rail Brass makes some very nice locomotives from what I have heard, personally can not afford them.
