Lennox

Lennox is a high-drivered express locomotive based out of Charlotte.

Bio
Lennox is a member of the F2 class of express Pacific locomotives, built between 1915 and 1918. This class had very large 81 inch drivers, making them capable of running at quite high speeds with longer trains than had been possible with earlier wheel arrangements. The F2 class was quite successful, with 250 being built overall. Lennox was built towards the end of the production run, in 1917. He was initially assigned to Charlotte, but was moved to Raleigh in 1927 to help with Florida-bound trains.

Lennox's current tender is Toni.

Lennox has a short, trimmed mustache.

Persona
Lennox is quite patient for an express locomotive, which comes to a surprise to many freight and dual-purpose locomotives which do not know him as well. However, Lennox conceals a side of him that feels inferior because of the introduction of newer and better locomotives, particularly the Duplexes, whom he feels are so much superior to him that he will soon be put out of service. This causes him to distance himself from the newer locomotives, preferring to associate with locomotives whom he can feel bigger than, such as the Ten Wheelers Lucky and Vito.

He also has an unusual friendship with the large articulated locomotives, notably including the famously reclusive Sheamus.

Design
Lennox is an F2 class 4-6-2 Pacific type locomotive. Designed by Howard Knott in the early teens, the F2 class were quite successful locomotives, with quite large drivers for their type.
