Description
While the Southern Pacific had a huge roster of 2-8-2 mikado type locomotives, none were USRA-based to the best of my knowledge. So I kind of wanted to see what that might have looked like. Basically I went into Trainz: A New Era (thank you Steam Sale), and stuck an SP GS class tender (credit to Trainz Forge) and a NKP H6 class (credit to K&L Trainz) to see what the result looked like. Honestly, other than brightening the smokebox to a more silver color, it doesn't look bad. Also excuse the giant green arrow there, apparently that stayed when I took the screenshot.

I have enjoyed playing around with the locomotives and tenders from different railroads. I know a lot of my fellow railfans like to entertain the what-ifs of history and technology, and I have always wanted to do the same. So I'm gonna try my hand at it. It won't be nearly as polished as other people's work, but it's still fun to jog the imagination.
