I'd like to add that the ten wheelers, like the Annie, pulled an awful lot of passenger trains.  The 2-6-0 was the freight hauler of the day.  Except for the American, the 4-4-0 which was the mainstay of the first railroads hauling both freight and passengers, most engines with a four wheel leading truck were passenger engines. The four wheel truck made the engine more stable at high speeds and guided better.The Atlantics (4-4-2) were used where the load wasn't too great.  And then there were the dual use locos like the Niagaras and Northerns (4-8-4).  The Annie is a very good buy; I have two, one with Walschaerts valve gear!  Good luck, Art
