Description The Sandpatch & Southern has ordered 25 new articulated engines and they are ready to tackle the Savage Grade (Sandpatch Grade is the Lower Grade). This locomotive is an Edited Atticus-W engine (Original: GSBW M-2 Class 2-8-4 ). The locomotive is named for a 1911 tunnel on the Western Maryland Railway, The Borden Tunnel. All credit goes to Atticus-W, I just modified the Engine!

I can say nothing but nice things about a 2-6-6-4 camelback (except, perhaps, that it SHOULD be a 2-6-6-6 camelback ).  You've done a nice job rendering that massive Wooten firebox... but, I'm left wondering, how does the front engine unit pivot with those fixed side skirts and front ladders in the way...?

Still, this is a creative loco.  Such a shame that none existed in real life.

I wasn't thinking about the side skirts and ladders (I'll have to do a revision sometime soon, If it's okay with you).......I'll check with the Engineering Department, Maybe the rear engine pivots for better visibility,I'm not sure.
