The 242 Holiday Special: A train for all seasons?

Could you do that? I'd appreciate it. There are images of the engine itself, you just need to adjust the xml reference.

Ok, it's in Construction Set. Now mind you, I haven't tested it yet, so if you find a problem, please let me know. It uses the Mikado Tender and the images from the Mikado as I'm not quite able to work on those things at this time.

Got it, and it runs fine! I changed the images to the Holiday Special's ones since it's essentially the same. Didn't really mind the Red/Green paint job, just was bothered by the whistle.

Thanks for doing that!

Here's a shot of it in game, behind the Mikado/121. I always liked the idea of US built engines operating on Foreign railways alongside foreign-built engines! Of course, in reality, the 121 looked a little more French, but still quite a contrast from French practice.

I think I might remove the tender from the A1. I'm rather all or nothing with them.

What would you replace it with? I think we could edit it a bit, remove the rails, change the water tank a bit, and since it is French, a cooler for some champaign might be nice.........

You think maybe you could adjust it so the Holiday Special keeps its holiday colors and the regular has different ones?

Could the class 241P be based off the same 4-8-2? It looks very similar.
