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.
