The previous post correctly noted that the Belpaire-firebox locos called M1, M1a & M1b were peculiar to the Pennsy. Many other roads used 4-8-2 locos, of much different appearance. PFM published a book called "The Mountains" that includes all rrs operating the wheel arrangement. <br /> <br />Notable users included NYC ("Mohawks" after the River on that road) & SP. Several roads used the USRA Mountains, of both "light" & "heavy" designs. The C&O originated the type, back in 1911 I think. Other users included the GN & N&W, and there were several more. Try to locate the book thru a hobby shop, bookstore or library & you can learn about all of them.
