This took DAYS to finish and get perfect. This is a fictional design, based on the Chesapeake and Ohio's real mallets. In 1948, the C&O acquired another mallet. dubbed the H-8, these goobers ran the line with pride. they were given American flags in 1967. in 1987, 7590 was sold to the newly founded "southern Chesapeake and Richmond" preservation railroad. (ill fix the story i promise)
