Well. This was no small task, every aspect of this locomotive was a nightmare but at the same time a fun challenge. I built this in response to @CodingToTheMaximum loco request from coming second in my train building challenge. Unfortunately this loco isn't as detailed as I'd love it to be, I'm just far to pressed for time to add anymore. -Mouse over bottom right of the screen for controls. push 1 for song 1, push 2 for song 2 ,and press 3 for song 3 and the start is the union pacific theme and it is also song 3.
Norfolk and Western No. 1218 is a steam locomotive that at one time was the strongest-pulling operational steam locomotive in the world. It is a four-cylinder simple articulated locomotive with a 2-6-6-4 (Whyte system) wheel arrangement. The Norfolk & Western Railway built it in 1943 at its Roanoke Shops in Roanoke, Virginia, and was part of the Norfolk & Western's class A fleet of fast freight locomotives. It was retired from regular revenue service in 1959, but Norfolk & Western successor Norfolk Southern Railway operated it in excursion service from 1987 to 1991. Today it is on display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke.
