Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal 0-6-0T switcher #15 is a new LionChief LC+ 2.0 model shown on my 10’-by-5’ layout. Brooklyn had waterfront short-line railroads that received freight cars on barges from New Jersey and delivered them to local businesses and industries including the New York Naval Shipyard. My switcher is pulling Waldbaum’s and Schaefer Beer refrigerator cars – companies who both did business in New York City and surrounding areas. The Schaefer brewery was very close to a BEDT yard, but the consist is fictitious. The Lionel 0-6-0T is a good model of BEDT #15, which was built by Porter in 1917.
