Can anyone tell me the road names associated with the road #s on the following Rivarossi locos.
They are pretty old, I think...
4-6-2 wheel config. , road #2936
2-8-8-2 wheel config., road #2197
Thanks in advance for any answers.

The Rivarossi 4-6-2 is a model of a USRA heavy Pacific. Only the Erie got these engines, or copies (it's the second rarest USRA engine, and the least spread around). If you're looking for a "typical" pacific, go with either the Athearn or Bowser USRA light 4-6-2, or the Bowser NYC K-11 Pacific (which was used by something like eight different roads, and looks a lot like hundreds of other pre-USRA engines).

2197 was an N&W road number for a Y6b, but Riv also plastered it on the tender on a Santa Fe and also used it on a Pennsy if I remember right.
What could have happened.... did.
