Thanks for the update Earl. Again, hands down the best steam locomotive I ever came in contact with. You have to assume that by 1920 Baldwin had the 4-6-0 (especially in 36" gauge) figured out. Overall, this locomotive ran like a champ. What impressed me even more was that it's 'bowling alley' firebox made it fire without effort. During the Halloween and X-mas seasons this locomotive would pull a ballasted hopper and 15 coaches without slipping. Guess that's proof that they don't make 'em like they used to.
