This is where I will be listing the active Engines and rolling stock.
My first challenge will be the D Class American Engines of the middle Division. I have found a group of 4 Baldwin 4-4-0s numbered 419-422 that I would like to model.
The first
application of the four-wheeled swing-bolster truck made by The Baldwin
Locomotive Works occurred in 1867, when this device was applied to a group of
American (4-4-0) type locomotives built for the Pennsylvania. Among these were
four fast passenger locomotives, with 17 x 24-inch cylinders and driving wheels
66 inches in diameter, which bore the road numbers 419- 422. Engine 422 was
placed on the road September 9, 1867, and was in constant service until May 14,
1871, without being off its wheels for repairs, during which time it made
153,280 miles. This locomotive is shown in an accompanying illustration. The
Pennsylvania locomotives built during the late sixties were notable
because of the simplicity of their outline and the absence of superfluous
paint and brass.
