Sounds credits in SOUNDS Folder in .sms.
Whistle sounds provided by Chris Signorelli & Bill Hobbs.

I've only used Convoi and MSTS Consist Editor when creating a train
consist. THE LOCOMOTIVE WILL NOT SHOW IN THE MSTS CONSIST EDITOR THUMBNAIL
BUT WILL WORK. I have no idea how this archive will work in Conbuilder.

This is a beta model, a personal experiment to see to what lengths Open Rails will go
in running an engine with extremely large polygon counts.There are no guarantees
it will be developed further.

The missing number board on the tender backup light is per photograph taken in
Raymond, Washington during WW2.

Credits and thank yous:

Steve Thompson for supplying the drawings, rare photos, data and anecdotes.

Allen Norton for allowing me the use of his 3D driving wheel TSM files, and building excellent steam locos in TSM as a catalyst to get me to try my hand at one.

Jon Davis, Barry (Captain Bazza) Munroe, and Bill Pratt for further incentives towards building steam through much study of their models.

Chris Van Wagoner for his help with the locomotive physics, which made these locos come to life as true mountain hogs.

Herb Kelsey for the original engine file work, sounds and testing.

Whistle sounds (NP 5-chime) provided by Chris Signorelli & Bill Hobbs.

Derek Miller for additional sound work.

Dustin Raiken for supplying correct dimesions for the NP 5-Chime whistle.

There's probably someone else I'm forgetting, please forgive me for it.
