Frisco 1630 2-10-0 Decapod {CREDITS TO SNERSO AND JANUSZ THE ENGINEER}

Made by snerso. NOTE! THIS CREATION IS INCREDIBLY PC INTENSIVE, AND MAKES USE OF BRICKS THAT ARE KNOWN TO DESYNC IN MULTIPLAYER. GODMODE IS RECOMMENDED. I ALSO SPENT ALMOST 3 HOURS EDITING THIS.


CREDITS TO snerso FOR MAKING THE DECAPOD, ORGINAL CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2921131903, AND CREDITS TO Janusz the engineer FOR THE BELL SYSTEM.

The Russian Class Ел or Ye Locomotives were designed for high traction use at the outbreak of World War 1. A first order for these locomotives was placed in 1915, which called for 400 locomotives do be built by Baldwin Locomotive Works. As the war progressed, the Russians ordered another batch of 475 locomotives, this time slightly they were heavier on account of some slight modifications. By the time the U.S. entered the war, the United States began producing a third batch of 500 locomotives. This production was later interrupted by the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, which led to only 50 locomotives of this production run being shipped. The remaining production order was canceled, and the 200 locomotives stranded in the United States were sold off to other railroads one of the most notable examples of which being Frisco #1630.

These locomotives would later be redesigned as to lighten them for work on the tattered Soviet Railways during World War 2. Baldwin and other american locomotive manufacturers would again be contracted to produce 2,047 engines from 1944 to 1947. Various additions and modifications were made during this production, the inclusion of a mechanical stoker being an example.

Today several locomotives survive, including the functional Frisco 1630 locomotive. This locomotive is specifically based on the Ел - 629 locomotive, which is located today in the city of Ussuriysk, which is about 90 minutes north of Vladivostok.

This locomotive was built in version 1.3.2 of Brick Rigs and will not load in any older versions.

Frisco 1630 is running passenger trains at the Illinois Railroad Museum.
