 Lou: The engine the Bachmann 2-10-0 is based on was the socalled "Russian decapod". Socalled because they were first built to ligher (due to lighter prevailing rails) Russian specifications by Baldwin. WWI prevented delivery and they were taken over by USRA and allocated to various US railroads who found them very useful and quite good pullers for their size. I believe the original order was for 1200 units so they were quite common in US usage. Randy
