Derek Miller has made an already wonderful route, 3DTrains' Western Pacific Third Sub, super fantastic by the addition of something sorely needed since this route's release: WP Steam! Real WP steam!

He has given us Baldwin 2-8-0's in the 1-20 class in the form of No. 12.

And their ALCO sisters of the 21-65 class in the form of No. 22 and No. 26.

To see them working the canyon and the line to Almanor is pure heaven!

A fantastic addition. Thanks Derek! B)

Never being one to leave well enough alone.......Let the Cloning Begin!

Of course these engines would see occasional passenger service so more cloning had to occur:

Station and water stop at Belden on the Feather River Express.

I'm having lots of fun with these locos! :oldstry: B)

Speaking of cloning, Herb was the reason and inspiration behind why my original vision of 2 unique engines suddenly turned into 3 unique models B)

I love the WP passenger cars too... I wonder what the chances are some 4-6-0's will show up someday to pull those around? Hmmm....

I'm really happy to say I haven't heard of any problems or issues with them, so they must be doing well. I'm just glad I was able to finally give something back to the community! :oldstry:

Thanks! It's hard to take a bad shot on the WP route but now that we have steam it is near impossible! :bigboss:

Well, if it's okay with you Herb, I thought I might expand upon your wonderful set of shots, in the hopes that others will follow and create a nice little WP steam screenshot thread?
If you oppose, feel free to strike me down! :oldstry:

In this one here I grabbed a shot over the hood of a Ford and decided to spruce it up a bit.

And I know there's color in this B&W, but I just thought the little red accent looked nice.

Have a good one,
Sam
