An attempt to creat a Baldwin “DR-6”

I don't have a fetish for the Baby Face Baldwin's, but I will say that the above Mop Baby Face Baldwin's, as well as the CNJ's are pretty cool.

Perfect Andre....this is exactly what I have been telling folks.  You can include links where copyrighted (or potentially copyrighted) photos are and still let folks see what you are pointing out in a post.  Thanks!

Pretty good O gauge example on page 37

Baldwin’s PostWar attempts to garner the diesel market were less than successful (few were sold) and consequently, few are available in 3 rail O Gauge. MTH produced a model of the Baldwin Centipede and it has been repeated but Lionel.

I have always been partial to the Baldwin “baby face”. While on a collection tour at the TCA National Convention, I spied this attempt at a kit-bash using two Lionel PostWar F3s…….it’s a good attempt but it falls short……. The F3 just can’t capture that “baby face”.

Sorry……..I attempted to find pics of Baldwin diesels……but could not be sure of the copyright, but they’re easy to find with Google images

Further hacksawing of the cabs off the body around the door or side window - this is all approximation - and the removal of a scale foot or 2 from the separated cabs' "bottoms", then re-gluing the lower cabs back on, with styrene filler above to emulate the "hump" on most Babyfaces, and the illusion would have taken another step or two down the road. Not a "model", but an entertaining emulation. I like it, even as it is.
