I'm posting the same locomotive question here. What am I?On my maiden run before being put in regular survice I impressed the railroads officials by producing a drawbar horsepower of more than twice the 4-6-4 class, and more than even the 4-8-4 locomotives I was replacing. Later, on the same run because the engineer wasn't familiar with how I loaded down, I stalled on the routes only 3.5% grade with 1182 tons of train behind me. Everyone thought they were going to have to call for a helper unit, but I impressed them again by digging in (producing 108,000 lbs of drawbar pull) and getting the train moving to 16mph by the top of the hill.

nope. and nope. here are all the clues.
I am the lightest of my type built for an American railroad.
Only me and my 5 sisters ever existed of our kind.
We were all coal burners.
We belong to a shortline in the midwest.
Lightest of our wheel arrangement, but still a large chunk of steamer.
Our drivers measure only 69"

Perhaps I should say 'ever existed'.
Another clue-- I belonged to a short line in the midwest.

Nope. I'm sure there were more than 6 Russian Decs built.
Only me and my 5 sisters exist of our kind.
What am I?

I'm having a freind put DCC and sound in mine, I think it's an excellent little engine! someone really loved it before me though, the wheels and frame show signs of ALOT of happy miles! (REAL miles, not Scale!!)
