Really, this isn't the common look of an American engine!
We in Germany have had thousend and more such elephant eared engines. All passeneger engines of former Deutsche Reichsbahn (1925 to 1950 or 60) were equipped with smoke deflectors. In later years our engines have had smaller deflectors positioned in over half of boiler at smokebox. And this was the ordinary look of our passenger engines. But Amerikan engines?
I know the UP challenegers and the D&H engines an the NYC Niagaras. All they were seldom looking engines in my eyes with their smoke deflectors - but now also B&O engines!
No, I would like to see American engines without smoke deflectors, please!
