Of course we like our Alco #19 at SVRy, but I've often thought how great it would be to also have # 16, 17 or 18 Baldwin to compare her too.
# 19 can be slippery even on dry rail. In watching the C&TS Rotary video, I was amazed to see the Engineer pull out the throttle all the way without slipping. #19 would spin like crazy if we were to do that. I've always felt SVRy tried to incorporate more power into the design than # 19 can handle. Alco built her to SVRy specs. I wonder if Alco ever told SVRy they might be over doing it?
