The Erie Railway introduced the Triplex P1 in 1915 to haul heavy freight (mainly coal) in the North Eastern USA. They were called triplex because they had 3 sets of driving wheels. A short history of the Triplex may be found here. There were only 4 built, 3 for Erie RR and one for Viginian RR. But they are such an impressive loco for Trainz, I will put any Railroad name/number on them. As the weight on the rear set of drivers reduced as coal/water was consumed, they often had problems of the front and rear driving wheels slipping. The same on this model in Trainz, if you accellerate too hard, they will slip badly. The first triplex was capable of hauling 640 coal wagons !!! They were withdrawn in 1928/9, none survived into preservation.
