PACIFIC ELECTRIC RAILWAY 47-TON 1556-1565-CLASS FREIGHT LOCOMOTIVE
SUBURBAN FREIGHT ENGINE.
7.2 Meter Wire Height Only
3D MODEL AND TEXTURES ©2010 By Tim Muir
Cab view by Tim Muir
Sounds, lighting and physics by Chuck Zeiler.
!!You must have at least Bin Patch v1.7.1022 installed in your MSTS root folder to use this model or you will get engine file errors!!
The PE inherited the ten units of the 1556-1565 class in the great Merger of 1911, which were built by predecessor "Old Pacific Electric" Ry in 1909. They were small critters, 32 feet between pulling faces, 18 foot wheel base, and just
12'-2" high to the top of the roof. Four of the ten had 4- 75hp motors and were used for light duties and switching. The remainder were fitted out with 4- 140hp motors and were used on mainline freight duties. The big Westinghouse L4
controllers meant that these units were never MU-capable. They were refurbished somewhat during World War 2, being among the first to receive the new black paint and white stripes and lettering used during the war. They lasted just a
couple of years post WW2, and were all gone by 1949, scrapped and burned at Torrance Shops.
Model built in TSMv1.1© by Abacus®, using official PE 2-view general arrangement drawings. Many railroad-specific parts had to be made by eye-ball "guess-timations". The cab view was built in 3D using Train Sim Model
er, posed, animated and photographed in Shape Viewer. Much help was freely given by Steve Thomas in getting the controller animations sorted out, and I thank him many times.
