Accucraft War Dept Baldwin on the SVRR

The first run of the new 32mm War Dept Baldwin on a cool December morning. Delightful steam plumes and a healthy roar from the stack, it's a sweet running engine.

This one is O gauge, Accucraft also made them in 1 gauge (G gauge)

That seems surprising, but everything was built fast in the war. B-17 bombers and C-47 transports were built 2 per day.

I am thinking about buying this engine from accucraft. How much is it?

i wonder what that engine would sound like with some cars behind it

[svrronline]

I held it back a bit with my hand - it wasn't overly powerful, but then it was its first time out. After running in it should pull a half dozen small cars.

@svrronline Wrong war :)

What Gauge?

[donaldengine9]

You'd figure these engines would be a bit stronger then that, considering they were shipped to Britain to help out with the War Effort on Narrow Gauge Railways. One of them was located at the Snailbeach locomotive shed.

what scale are these little guys (o?) and do you have shays, heislers, or climaxs?

Did you know that locomotive was built in 2 1/2 hrs  buy the U.S. engineers during WWII. When i read about that i was surprized even though it's a small loco that was still fast.
