Triplex – Quadriplex and Quintrex Steam Locomotives

I was looking in a local model railway magazine and came across this class of locomotive. (Model Railways in Australia) From what I saw after searching the internet, there were three Triplex locomotives built for Erie by Baldwin.

The Quadruplex and Quintrex were concepts that apparently weren’t built. Since I never heard of these types I thought this was interesting.

I am a retired train driver who has 49 years service with QRNational. When I first started there were still steam locomotives running. 1965 saw me qualified as a fireman. Yes. I did fire steam locos. Classification as driver came in 1975 and as a tutor driver in 1995. My retirement came in 2012.
