Mexicano #183 Fairle Locomotive

Description
This locomotive and its 3 siblings were built for the Mexican state railway's Vera Cruz incline by a British manufacturer. They were designed to handle the steep railway between Vera Cruz and other neighboring cities. They were scrapped by 1924 when the line was electrified due to immense operating cost and traffic.

These locomotives are of a Fairlie design, which essentially places the cab over two fireboxes which feed two boilers, which in turn feed two sets of driving wheels which are placed on articulated trucks. They were built to standard gauge, and are to this day the most powerful Fairlie locomotives ever built.

This vehicle was built in 1.0 and will not work in legacy. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN USING THIS IN SERVERS (it can be very laggy)

Glad to hear you do plan to do a 4-4-0. My only ask for it is that you have large passenger drivers as opposed to smaller freight wheels.

the dreaded fairlie but somehow good looking?
