--- Quote from: bogstandard on May 21, 2009, 05:50:53 AM ---John, The 'Pacific' name is used all over the world to classify a certain country's range of locomotives. The American class of Pacific as far as I can surmise, is a rather large brute of a loco. --- End quote --- Thats right John, I dont think Pacific means anything more than 4-6-2. |

John , I think the American version has 10 drive wheels. John |

John --- End quote --- That could be John, I am not a real train buff but I always understood the little NZ 'Ab' locomotive was a Pacific class but it was oceans apart (ha ha funny what?) from somthing like the UK speedsters. |

Bernd, You are quite correct, please excuse my ignorance. :doh: I was getting confused :scratch: with the 'Pacific' class layout of 4-6-2 as this one is, and is a standard layout under the Pacific name all over the world. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2951628710051634853NfcuhM And the Pacific Railroad class SP1 layout of 4-10-2, of which this is an example. http://espee.railfan.net/sp_steam_sp-01.html My confusion is now cured. :bang: John |
