N&W #2041
This Lego model is the (Norfolk & Western y3 #2041 (2-8-8-2)). It was operational in the1940s. There is currently no information on this train. I guess he ended up in the scrap.

Train carriages
The first car I added on this locomotive is the (N&W WATX 539) which is a (Powhatan Arrow). It is a passenger car which is still on the railway tracks and the last time it was seen was on 2/6/2023 at 10:31:03 PM, in Lynchburg, VA.
For the second car, I have less information but I can tell you that it is the (N&W 491) which is also a (Powhatan Arrow) and which is a dining car.
About my model:
• There are 2714 pieces.
• There are 10 minifigures.
• I designed this model to be motorizable and can roll and turn on the Lego tracks even though it seems heavy and long. Then this model can have play features.
• I decided to add stickers but there are some that are poor quality. I apologize for that.
Why this might be a good set of Lego ideas
My idea could be a superb Lego set because the model has several displayable and playable possibilities. It's also motorizable and runs on classic Lego train tracks. From my point of view, I find the train very pretty. In short, for all thoses reasons, this model could be an excellent set.
If it becomes a real Lego set
Before we begin, I would like to say that what I am about to say are preferences, but I obviously have no authority on Lego.
If this became a real Lego set, I would accept that Lego change the locomotive but I would prefer that it remained a (Norfolk and Western) and that it remained a 2-8-8-2. For the cars, I don't pay much attention to them, as long as they stay from the company (Norfolk and Western) (Lego can even remove or add some cars). For the minifigures, Lego can do whatever they want.
Conclusion
I would be very grateful if you could support, comment or share my idea.💖
