More from Gunslinger87
This was a locomotive I came across a while back. Though I first learned of this engine some years ago. (I feel old saying that.)
Anyway, this is the Baldwin 10-22-D class 2-6-0. though it's more famously known as the South Australia's "X" class locomotive. Though a few did see domestic service here in the states. This is drawn ROUGHLY to "O" scale, it's not precise, in fact it might be a little large. Even so, once I saw this locomotive I fell in love almost instantly!
They were small, squat little Moguls with 38" diameter drivers. I would like to build a model of this engine in On30 for one of my roads that connects with the BT&W (Big Thunder & Western), the "Big Thunder & Prescott".
Please comment if you fave.

yup.
pretty sure.
only thing bigger they ever had were #8 and #9. both consolidations. and the last two engines they had,
everything before that were 4-4-0s and 2-6-0's. and one 0-4-0.
and at the very end, a couple of little 4 wheel gasoline mechanicals.
it looked bigger in the movies and the virgenian intro, with the fake stack and stuff the studios did to it.
there were only ever two engines in service and one in the shop, at any given time.
over the span of the compnay's existence there were a total of 9 steamers, a touring car converted to railbus,
and the little plymouths that switched the mines and the yards in grass valley and nevada city.

This particular drawing isn't really freelance, it's drawn from an actual Baldwin locomotive plan that's dated for 1881. American locomotives form the 1860s were almost exclusively of the 4-4-0 variety with little exception. The "Winans Camel" locomotives were among the first "Camelback" locomotives, with the cab on top of the boiler. They were products of the 1840s and 1850s and were usually 0-8-0 types, but there were some 4-6-0 variants of them also. Baldwin also had some more traditional looking 0-8-0s and 0-6-0 locomotives. 2-6-0s didn't really appear until the early to mid 1870s.
I'm familiar with it, but thank you for the offer. I'd like to have a model of the car some day. Perhaps the whole train in HO. Precision Scale Co. had made a limited edition set in HO scale and O for the Lincoln Funeral Train.
I've got a photo of the York replica locomotive running in New Freedom, PA in my gallery. That's a prime example of an 1860's steam locomotive! I've got a few photos of it actually.
