36ng Murchison 2-6-6-2T 51 classic

Classic series: Error-free in TRS19, converted to Trainzmesh with PBR materials, but not significantly upgraded from original 2005 release. Model reflects a previously unreleased 2018 update.

Uintah Railway 51 was the second and final 2-6-6-2T articulated built for the Uintah. She was delivered to Mack, Colorado aboard Lehigh Valley flatcar 9952, the same car that 50 had been delivered on two years prior. Unloading was accomplished with help from Uintah 12, a former F&CC 2-8-0, and D&RGW crane 026.
51 was built to the same design as 50, but with improvements that made it better suited for work on the Uintah. As delivered, 51 was able to run on Morro Castle (a section of track with a 7.5% grade and 87 foot diameter curves), which 50 was unable to when it was built. 50 derailed on all of its tests on Morro Castle. 51, though, didn't thanks to a large block of concrete on the front engine, and an improved steam delivery system. Other changes to 51 included a larger coal bunker, and relocated air compressors.
When the Uintah was abandoned, 50 and 51 were sold to the Sumpter Valley Railroad of Oregon, leaving on board Lehigh Valley flatcar 9952. On the Sumpter Valley, they were renumbered to 250 and 251. They also lost their sidetanks, and acquired the tenders from a pair of Alco 2-8-2s that were requisitioned by the US Army for the White Pass & Yukon. After the Sumpter Valley job, both travelled again, this time to International Railways of Central America in Guatemala. They remained there until 1970, when they were both cut up. The tenders survived, and currently reside on the Sumpter Valley, behind a pair of Alco 2-8-2s.
