steam locomotive 264 3D 模型

in the united states and britain, the 2-6-4 locomotive type was named the pacific as the first locomotives of the style were shipped across the pacific ocean to new zealand.

new zealand railways (nzr) was the first to purchase and operate 2-6-4 locomotives, in 1901, with an order for 13 q class locomotives. upon completion, the locomotives had to be shipped across the pacific ocean, hence the name. the reason for the design was that a locomotive with a large firebox was required to burn poor lignite coal from the south island.

the success of the 2-6-4 design can be attributed to the presence of a four-wheel leading truck, which made for stability at speed; six driving wheels, which allowed for the application of more power than the earlier 4-4-2 \"atlantic\" design; and a two-wheel trailing truck, which permitted the firebox to be behind the high driving wheels, allowing it to be both wide and deep.
