[modeleng] Re: Locomotive Crankpin Turning

Ron, that is a 4-8-0...  A number of railroads had them, but the Norfolk & 
Western may have used more of them than anyone else stateside.  That 
particular loco is on the Strasburg RR http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/ and 
is an ex-N&W.  N&W did have turntables...  Some of those locos were based in 
Bristol TN-VA (where I grew up) and hauled trains up the Abington branch, 
which was made famous by O. Winston Link's http://www.linkmuseum.org/ 
photography.  N&W was one the last major railroads to dieselize...  Those 
4-8-0s also served as switchers in Bristol, and if childhood memory is 
correct, my first steam loco experience was in one.  See also
