0-4-0 Dockside Prototype

Varney made them in HO scale.

and he notes -

There were four built for the B&O, No's 96-99.

In later years. two were rebuilt to tender locos and served in the Philadelphia area. Mel Thornburg built a model of one in 17/64ths scale which was featured in a series of Model Railroader articles back in the fifties. They were also the prototype for Thomas Industries' 0 Gauge 0-4-0. I think AHM or Rivarossi offered them in H0.

I have an S Gauge Dockside and another stretched out to a 2-6-2T. Some day I'm gonna tackle the tender version...

One thing to note is that the B&O was the only railroad who owned docksiders. I believe there were only 6 of them built. These engines became quite famous and many model train manufacturers produce models of them labeled for lots of different railroads, even though only the B&O had them in real life. I myself own an HO docksider with Santa Fe markings.

I'm relying on memory, but here goes.

Baldwin

B&O Class C16

Bldr's Date - 1912

You'll want to look in Staufer's book B&O Power for additional information. There were all sorts of changes and modifications to these interesting locomotives over the years.

Hope this helps

work safe

I recently purchased a MODEL of an 0-4-0 Dockside saddle-tank switcher. I have been trying to find out who built the prototype 0-4-0, and I have had absolutely no success. My search has turned-up some good photographs of engines identical to the model, but no explanations or elaborations.

Is somebody able to solve this mystery?
