The 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler was a standard addition to most early 20th century railroads. Much like the 2-8-0 Consolidation, the 4-6-0 was a go-anywhere, do-anything locomotive that carried freight and passenger cars, and was also used for industrial applications. This model replicates a “catalog standard” Baldwin locomotive built between 1905 and 1910, representing both 52-inch and 63-inch driver prototypes. The 4-6-0s were utilized throughout the steam era, with some locomotives seeing use in the American South as late as the 1950’s.
