1916 Baldwin 2-8-0 G Scale
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, August 16, 2007 3:52 PM
Hi
I am desperately searching for a G scale Baldwin 2-8-0 circa 1916 steam engine.
A picture is available at:
http://www.lvrra.org/images/engine19_25p.jpg

I am not interested in color or logos, just a very close replica.
Note the size of the round boiler barrel to the roof of the drivers cabin. Most replicas have big windows looking out over the boiler barrel.

I realize that it might be impossible to find a new one through big name manufactures like lgb and bachman, but I am hoping that someone may have offered one years ago and its now discontinued.
Or, does anyone know what kind of available trains that can be pieced together to make a very close replica?
Examples...
Find a G Scale 2-8-0 chassis and place another body on this chassis.

Any info is much appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Dave;

No such model exists - if you want one, you'll have to build your own.
