Heck, I don't even know the guidelines! Ah well, there isn't going to be trivia here today anyways, I am away tomorrow. (It's my birthday!)
I think once a week might not be often enough, maybe bi- or tri-weekly.

If the topic is too arcaine, very few people answer and those that do often know or have looked it up. Also perhaps a daily trivia is too much. I can never remember if I got in "today's" or not. Perhaps a weekly question on a less arcaine topic would attract more "guessers". And you might want to re-post the guidelines occasionally, I can't think of the last time Lotus posted them.

I don't know what the S2 Turbine was, but I do know the Pennsy had a lot of strange Baldwins around.

And the Baldwin company never grasp the concept of mass production of a standard design. Probably the main reason they went under.

SO with those to liimted facts, I'll guess - Baldwin.

I know a lot of info about the PRR because my garden railway club has members from the PRR technical and historical society. The correct answer is Baldwin.
