Bit of an odd one! This is the Port Talbot Cooke 0-8-2, 2 of which were ordered by the PTR during the 1898 UK loco builder's strike, among a handful of other american locomotives imported at the time. Ending up with GWR by grouping, both were scrapped by 1930.

The Baldwin VO-1000 was one of the better selling offerings in Baldwin’s diesel range. Featuring a respectable 1000HP (Hence the name) it made for a decent competitor to ALCO and EMD offerings. 548 were built for various customers. 8 survive, with a few more having been rebuilt also preserved.

Nevada Northern 40 is a famous locomotive, hailing from just after the turn of the century. Ordered for the Nevada Northern Railway in Ely, this venerable ten-wheeler is well loved by both tourists, railfans, and crew alike. 40 is under overhaul as of current, but is sure to ride again soon!

The UP TTT-6 class was a series of massive 2-10-2 locomotives, some of the biggest ever built of that arrangement. They were a crucial step in the UP’s superpower fleet, leading to the 9000 4-12-2, and eventually the 3900 Challengers. One survives, No. 5511, currently under restoration!

The PCC Streetcar is an iconic transit vehicle first designed and built in the 1930s. Built into the 1950s, and even exported to europe, many were used well into the 1980s, and some still operate in regular service in a few cities. Most notably on the San Fransisco MUNI F-Market line.

The DRGW K-36 were a series of 2-8-2 Mikado locomotives built by Baldwin for 3ft gauge. 10 were built total, working alongside the previous K-27 and 28 mikados. They worked well into the 1960s, only then being retired. A whopping 9 out of 10 survive with all having run in preservation at some point.

Kerr Stuart 4415 was one of, if not the very first purpose built diesel locomotive. Featuring a chain drive, a radiator in the cab, and a prominent sloping front, it’s easy to tell that it’s a pioneer. Built in 1928, it demonstrated on various narrow gauge railways in Britain and Ireland. It-

In the late 1960's, early into preservation days, she was given a rather strange, utilitarian appearance that would later inspire the unique, rectangular design of Earl of Merioneth. She featured D-shaped smokeboxes, square tanks, polished domes, and rather fetching Whitewalled Drivers.

Merddin Emrys has changed appearance many times through her long service life. As built, she featured an open cab and stovepipe-type chimneys. Her later, more well known appearance featured fancier capped chimneys, and a full cab. This is the guise she appears in today.

Merddin Emrys is a unique "Double Fairlie" type locomotive. Known well on the Ffestiniog Railway, she was built in 1879, and was the first in-house designed locomotive for the line. She is still in service today. A similar locomotive survives, two newbuilds have been made based on the design.

The NER E1 was an incredibly long lasted design. Built from 1898 to 1951, under three different companies, it lasted right up until the end of steam in Britain. A whopping 113 were built in total, with no notable design changes over half a century. Despite their success, only one is preserved.

The Central Pacific's No. 60 "Jupiter" was built in 1868 by The Schenectady Locomotive Works. Shipped around cape horn as a kit, it was assembled in Sacramento and set to work. Jupiter is well known for her participation in the famous "Golden Spike" ceremony. An extremely faithful replica survives.

L&YR Class 21

60 of these little saddle tanks were built between 1886 and 1910. They could be found all over the L&YR network doing light shunting duties in constricted areas. They worked well into BR days, and two are still around today.

EMD GP-35

Built between '63 and '66, the EMD GP-35 was the first GP-series locomotive to carry the iconic styling used up until the end of the range. It was the last domestic use of EMD's 567 Prime Mover in a new locomotive.
