OS Baldwin Mogul 2-6-0

I have always loved the early American style locomotive.  In fact, my fist project was a 1-1/2” scale American 4-4-0.  My next locomotive was the 3/4” gauge OS Porter.  I purchased this as a kit from an older gentleman who never finished it and just enjoyed looking at a partly assembled locomotive on his dresser each morning.  He finally decided to part with it and I was the lucky one to get this

locomotive. The little engine ran like a Swiss Watch.  Although I loved the engine, I finally sold it to begin work on another project.

When I saw the new OS Baldwin Mogul, I was really excited.  I already knew the high quality of OS Live Steam Locomotives.  When I had the Porter, I always wanted to see it in a larger gauge.  The Baldwin Mogul is the answer to that wish.

After studying the OS Mogul, I finally decided that I would take it on as my next project.  In this section of my website, I will document the assembly of the OS Baldwin Mogul.

This locomotive was built by the Baldwin Locomotive works somewhere around the 1870’s to 1880’s.  It was a natural progression from the American. It has a two wheel lead truck and six drive wheels giving it more power to pull larger trains than the American.

News

The locomotive is complete and running.  But I add more pictures and some video in the future.
