The Ten-Wheelers
Perhaps the most versatile single locomotive type was the 4-6-0, for it was used in fast passenger and slow freight services as well as in dual service, all depending on driver size and steaming capacity. Compared to the (4-4-0) American or American Standard, the (4-6-0) could carry more weight for better adhesion without track damage. This feature made it popular as a second hand engine on many slightly built branch and short lines in late years. For a number of years the 4-6-0 was the favorite type for commuter trains on many railroads. The Ten-Wheelers were built from about 1850 onward; The last large order consisted of the giants for the Pennsylvania Railroad. (see plan) In all some 16,000 Ten-Wheelers were built.

The Bachmann Ten-Wheelers are of a Baldwin built locomotive with no apparent prototype counter-part. even so, It is a good representation of the Ten-Wheelers. They are cheap in cost making them nice for kitbashing and detailing.

4-6-2 NYC No. 4507
The Aristo-Craft 4-6-2 Pacifics, are of a Southern 4-6-2 Class Ps4 . The Ps4 was called "The first ladies of the Pacifics" and "The most brilliantly styled steam engines of their day". Southerns, Pacifics were painted light olive green with gold-leaf striping and a dull red-brown cab roof. Number plates were already brass and tires aluminum in color. The smokebox was a light graphite gray. The color scheme proved to be good public relations with customers. Southerns Nos. 1393, 6476 and 6688, built in 1926, were the first green engines .The Ps4 engines were similar to the heavy USRA Pacifics except for their smaller drivers and the fact that they allowed for a shorter rigid wheel base and boiler. This also permitted a higher tractive effort with the same cylinders. Most engines came from Alco plants from 1923 until 1926, But the final lot were Baldwins in 1928.

SHAY Ely-Thomas Lumber Co. No. 5
The prototype for Bachmann Spectrum Shay, is based on the Ely Thomas Lumber Company Shay locomotive number 5 as originally built by the Lima Locomotive Works. Number 5 is a 36 ton, 3 cylinder, two-truck, 3 foot gauge shay.
She is similar to hundreds of stock model shays that Lima sold throughout the world. Lima built number 5 in 1917 with construction number 2940.

CLIMAX Pardee & Curtain Lumber Co. No. 6
Climax locomotives were built from 1888 to 1928 by the Climax Manufacturing Company of Corry, Pennsylvania. In 1893 a Class B locomotive was designed featuring cylinders positioned alongside boiler at an elevation of approximately 40 degrees. The locomotive built to this design weighed 25 ton. The new Class B design was an instant success, and quickly became Climax's most popular model throughout the company's history.

NW2 Santa Fa No. 1216
USA Trains, NW2 is probably the best mass-produced locomotive I ever have seen. It picks power up from all drive wheels and from a pair of spring loaded track sliders beneath each truck sideframe. Because of this, It starts to move at an unusually slow speed---barely a crawl---and has a very good (although higher then prototypical) top speed. In 1:29 scale, the NW2 reproduces all the major dimensions of the prototype perfectly. In 1939 Electro-Motive introduced a 1000 h.p., 12-cylinder NW2 . NW2 production ran from february, 1939 to december, 1949; 1143 units were built, in spite of a three-year production suspension 1942-1945 imposed by the War Production Board. The NW2 was EMD's best selling switcher ever. (see plans)
