Hello all
Frank Taylor of "Taylor- Made Models " offers the second HO scale engine in America September 1936 ...the Milwaukee Road Baltic ( Hudson).
The kit basic bronze cast split frame chassis , sheet brass , non insulated wheels ( outside 3rd rail power), ..physically a bit big ..due to the "new" permag Mantua 6 volt motor.
November 1936 Bill Walthers buys out Taylor - Made Models ..adding HO to compliment his O scale line.
The Baltic would under go many changes / improvements as new developments in HO were happening rapidly.
Please see link for video of Taylor - Made / Walthers Baltic running
