Casey Jones

[cheese3]

I know the 382 was a 4-6-0 but was there a name for it?, like bigboy for a 4-8-8-2 or pacific for a 4-6-2 Any help and info on casey in general would be appreciated! Thanks!

They were known as ten-wheelers.

I've heard them called Ten-Wheelers.

The only Casey Jones I've heard of was a burger joint at all the mainline London Terminii. The last one closed in the 1980's, they used to offer really greasy burgers. The logo had an old time engine on it.

Hope this helps!

Enclosed is a link to a website that contains a pair of official reports on the wreck. The accounts are pretty interesting, especially Sim Webb's.

As the other guys said, the 4-6-0 was known as a ten-wheeler. Varney put out a 'Casey Jones' 4-6-0 in the '50's (the loco is still produced under Bowser), but it wasn't a model of the 382, it was more or less based on a Southern Pacific prototype. If I recall correctly, Rivarossi had models of the actual 382 for a while in the '70's, both in HO and O scale.

Under appreciated models they were, All seemed to have been hacked or bashed to dust, Does anyone have a "as" manfactured model?

[Train 284]

Called Ten Wheelers

The AHM/Rivarossi models are still out there, unmodifed, and some unrun. They run nicely, wont pull much but run nice. Keep an eye on ebay under AHM or Rivarossi or 4-6-0. They turn up all the time. I have seen several at the local train show as well. Cheers Mike

I have an O scale AHM #382 that I bought back in the 70s in kit form.
I didn't buy the motorizing kit and built it as a static model.

I have an original Casey Jones by Rivarrossi in HO.Other than having the driver fixed it has been an ok loco.Dan

Sounds like you bought the one my father in law sold on eBay. One of the crankpins was stripped and would not stay attached, so he just sold is as-is.
