Purdue Collection *LINK*

Yes; at least some, if not all, of the Purdue Collection was moved to the MoT in St. Louis when the "Boilermakers" at Purdue University got out of actually training boilermakers.
The Camelback is "Black Diamond" a Reading inspection locomotive built by Baldwin in 1889. It's wheel arrangement is 2-2-2T; the firebox end is so cramped, a boy had to shovel coal.
Another is "Marmora" an "Eddy Clock" 4-4-0 built by B&A shops in Springfield, MS in 1876.
I am not sure if the "Daniel Nason", a B&P Roxbury-built 4-4-0 from 1863 came from the Purdue Collection or another means.
In closing, there was a discussion about this on the RYPN "Interchange" awhile back; unfortuantely, that is all I remember about it.
