[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by M636C</i> <br /><br /> <br /> <br />No, this isn't even a turbine! It seems to be a cab forward coal burning duplex (the two sets of cylinders are visible near the drivers, with a coal bunker carried forward of the cab, (like the M-1). The stack is equipped with a streamlined casing, and somewhere beyond that it merges into a streamlined tender (presumably for water only). <br /> <br />Now who could possibly consider such a locomotive? Wait, there looks to be a name down the side - maybe "Pennsylvania"? It's not that clear, but the last few letters do look like "A-N-I-A" <br /> <br />As a friend has said to me, "what could possibly go wrong!" <br /> <br />The lettering is very similar to more conventional Loewy duplex sketches shown in "Pennsy Power III", and I think I've seen a slightly different version. There might be a large Keystone just obscured on the rear of the tender. <br /> <br />M636C <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Gotta give you credit, "Pennsylvania" is probably the most likely possibility. <br /> <br />Although the characters that would be the Ns do not look identical, and the characters that would be the "Y" and "V" look more like "T" to me, the rest of your observation is very persuasive.
