I've found a PDF of illustrations of dozens of 4-4-0 locomotives from the 1850s, the Lowell Machine Shop 'Columbia' on page 21 is a very close match. The only thing that is putting me off IDing it as that is the name - it doesn't make sense that they'd just pick the name 'Rensselaer' out of thin air, when most of the other trains in the game use their real names. I do have a feeling that somewhere out there, in some obscure reference book, there is probably a real locomotive called the Rensselaer (or one from the Rensselaer & Saratoga Railroad) that is a perfect match.

The 'Comments' section is broken AGAIN. How do they keep messing this up? This here is ridiculous!

I really don't see how this is unknown.
I mean, the in-game name is what this type of locomotive is in real life.

Ouest 030. They were made by several different builders, but SACM made the most overall, including one of the two surviving locomotives.

Nope, apparently Thomas was based on a LB&SCR E2 class.


That is a can of worms in of itself. Fans debate about Thomas being an E2 for years.

Im Almost certain this is not based on the Original Adler but rather the 1935 Replica built by the Deutsche Reichsbahn.

Is Doncaster Works the right thing to classify as the manufacturer? Wouldn't; London North Eastern Railway be better?

The website has always called stuff by the company that made it, not the factory it was made. I know WW2 tanks are usually classified by their factories, but that's different. Those were made by a country that commissioned a factory to make them, not a company. This locomotive was made by a private company, i.e; the London North Eastern Railway.

I mean; we call it the Ford Crown Victoria, not the St. Thomas Assembly Crown Victoria.

That's just my two cents.
