Isn't that a kick ? But I guess that's all the CIM needed for their passenger run ? 1927 is later . Neat facts . Henry

Thanks for the info. I would never have guessed a 4-4-0 would have been built with a Walschaerts valve gear. I just learned something today. That makes it a good day right?Regards,

Also, here's a pic of one of the three of the very last 4-4-0's built for the US by Baldwin in 1927:

That 4-4-0 was built by Baldwin in 1919 for the Red River and Gulf RR, close to being one of the last 4-4-0's built in the US. The loco ran for a number of years around Stone Mountain along with a similar loco, sort of recreating the "Great Locomotive Chase".

I may get a little time to work on the layout this weekend, but Saturday afternoon, we go to my daughter's house. Our granddaughter is graduating high school and we have a party. Last weekend, we went to Atlanta for a family visit, but I did get a few hours off and went to the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth. I took lots of photos, including some very up close and personal photos of the B-End details of a couple hoppers. they had a 4-4-0 there with PISTON rod valves and what looked like Walschaert valve gear. the darnedest thing I ever did see. I expected slide valves and no external valve gear for a 4-4-0. I must assume this was retrofitted by a previous owner and did not come from the factory this way.
