Steam roster Buffalo Creek railway

I have not seen a complete roster but have found pictures showing USRA style 0-8-0s and 0-6-0s with semi slope back tenders.

Thanks for that helpful information. I had found that lower pic but the wheel arrangement was blocked. I thought there may have been some 0 4 0's which would make it easy to model because I have a NYC 040 with a slope backed tender. I am in the planning stages of a switching layout and I wanted  to model the Buffalo creek at one end and the South Buffalo Railway at the other as I grew up in western New York. The pics you sent have been a great help. I know now what engines I can use. Thanks Paul

Paul, A few years ago I spoke to Stephan Koenig who wrote a book on the South Buffalo about doing one on the Buffalo Creek and said he was planning to do one. I have not seen anything yet. I also grew up near Buffalo and model the area.

That 0-8-0 looks like it could be modeled with that $100 Lionel one that is out there

in various liveries, with maybe just modification to the rear of the tender, as the

coal bunker looks approximate.  Did that road just operate with switchers?

I agree. Those look almost exactly like the 0-8-0 that Lionel is pushing with most of the steam starter sets these days.

In fact there should be one waiting on my doorstep when I get home.

Here is some more info on the Buffalo Creek in Buffalo, not to be confused with the Buffalo Creek and Gauley in West Virginia.

It was a switching railroad that mainly served the Buffalo waterfront, primarily the grain elevators. Traveling over their yards back in the day you would see hundreds of these:

While this might be just a switchng road, with, perhaps, narrow scope, possibly

because of the interesting flower sack logo, cars for this road have been available

in various scales for years.  I have never seen much more information about it, though.
