New York Ontario and Western Y Class Light Mountains

New York, Ontario & Western Y Class Light Mountain (4-8-2)

Designed by the O&W's Superintendent of Motive Power Burton P. Flory and constructed between 1922 to 1923 by the American Locomotive Company's Schenectady works, The Y Class "Light 400's" were designed to hustle any job on the railroad ranging from milk trains bound for New York City to general freight and passenger service, often at high speeds thanks to their high-stepping drivers. While no steam locomotives survive from the Ontario & Western, a former Y Class tender is in use behind Savannah and Atlanta 750.

General Specifications: 

• []Tractive Effort: 50,300 lbs.

  []Engine Weight (Empty): 317,000 lbs.

  []Tender Weight (Empty): 79,061 lbs.

  []Curve Radius: L

  []Base Price: $25,000

This is my very first 3D model and locomotive mod, and there's a few issues I'm aware of that I plan to address in the future when I eventually add the Savannah and Atlanta customization to the model. The controls in the cab are a little wonky, and there are patchy and bugged textures here and there. I appreciate constructive criticism, as I have a lot to learn when it comes to modeling, texturing, and implementation.
