Baldwin 4-4-1000 age?
Posted by Blind Bruce on Friday, April 17, 2015 7:31 PM

Where can I get specs on the age and issues with the prototype Baldwin 4-4-1000? eg when were they built etc.

I just picked up the HO Bowser with lok sound and I am very impressed with the model

And for all things Baldwin Diesel, there's this page: http://baldwindiesels.railfan.net/contents.html

TONS of informationon the history of Baldwin diesel production. Nice collection of photos, both vintage and current surviving units.
