Item Description
This locomotive will be die cast and DCC ready.
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. Our 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.
Wig-Wag Note: We believe
the below releases will be in the 63" driver versions
as these road names have been produced only in 63"
driver versions in HO.

Dear Richard,
This locomotive will join our 2-8-0 and 4-8-2, and be available
next year about this time. Simply look at our HO version
you'll see what it will look like. we will also release
a 2-6-6-2 next year. Again, check the HO version to see
what it will look like.
Happy Holidays!
