Chesapeake & Ohio and Virginian 2-8-4 Pack
Finally, another real workhorse!
Here we have another flagship set of 2-8-4s, the C&O Kanawh! and as an added bonus, Virginian’s BA Class as well!
C&O had their own set of super steam, the Kanawha class. Famed for it’s beauty and as Southern’s only 2-8-4 as well (not included, couldn’t find the eagle). While C&O obtained Pere Marquette’s N-1 class in the merger, these beasts were just as good if not better. They hauled larger tenders and hauled ass.
The Virginian BA class was remarkably similar, with few differences. The most noticable was the "buried" steam dome and the even larger tender. There was less than 10 of these made, but still were impressive in their own right and had even more rumored speed of 87mph! Sadly, none survived.
