Reading and Northern 425 Pack
—–===== HISTORY =====—–
The 425 is a 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive, ordered by the Gulf, Mobile and Northern (later Gulf, Mobile and Ohio) in 1928. After being retired from revenue service in 1950, it was sold to multiple tourist railroads before finally settling into the Blue Mountain and Reading Railroad, later renamed Reading, Blue Mountain and Northern, as an excursion locomotive. The locomotive was repainted in 1992 from black into a dark royal blue livery, before being stored in 1996. After a 2 year restoration, R&N 425 returned to service in 2007, and made a few excursion runs before being taken out of service for repairs. In 2013, the repairs were complete, and it continued to run excursions, including a double header with Reading T1 2102 in 2022. As of today, the 425 is currently undergoing its mandatory FRA 1472 day inspection and overhaul.

—–===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====—–
This is more of a side project, as a little break from the heavier work that is the train mods I usually make, so these liveries aren’t perfect.

Hey folks, as I said previously, this is just a small, laid back side project, so I can rest before making the second USRA pack. I had some fun making this, and I really like how these liveries came out. By the way, when making liveries of my mods, please upload them as train mod LIVERIES please! Don’t duplicate the mod, since that’s not allowed on the workshop, and your items will get deleted! Instead, click the ‘Create Livery’ button. Thank you.
