This page presents images of steam locomotives that never existed, except in the imagination, or which never appeared as shown here. For more New York Central "fantasy steam," visit my New York Central Collection.
These images are shown here with no commentary, for the enjoyment and, no doubt, amusement of North American steam aficionados. Admittedly, "steam tech" types and other experts will take exception to some of these ideas, or features thereof. Please remember, this is all in fun!
