Ten wheeler?

The MoPac had numerous ten wheelers.

 

I refer you to this page for details:

Thanks

I have the C&O version .You won't be disappointed. Great runner and one of my favorite engines.

I totally agree with David, this is an outstanding ten wheeler and I like it better than any other small steamer. I also agree with David that the C&O livery is one of the sharpest versions of this engine, very colorful.

I have the NYC version of the f12, it is one of my favorites. Terrific value, great steamer, you will not be disappointed.

Guys two questions. Does the sounds include the coal and water being added along with the sequence sounds or is this before second version of legacy railsounds came out? Second ,I assumed these were great little scale steamers for us 036 operators. They were used a lot by rr all through out the years. I wonder why bigL only did a few rr? Why were these less popular than say the new mikados?

The Lionel Ten-Wheeler is a very nice model. However, it is made from a very large, very late, and very modern prototype - one of the last of its kind. It is not at all typical of the vast majority of Ten-Wheelers owned by most railroads. These typically had skinny boilers, sharply tapered fireboxes, tall stacks and domes, and generally a turn of the century look as opposed to the 1920's look of the Lionel item. 

Here's C&O #377 as far as extra sounds blow down and steam chest is about all you get besides crew talk. It regularly pulls 5 MTH heavy weight madisons up a 5% grade.
The steam sounds and whistle are awesome. They MSRP'd for $739 but I got mine right after they came out from Legacy station for $539 and as of late I've seen em in the $500 range

Here's some prototype photos so you can tell some of the differences in what Ten-Wheelers looked like:

Smokes stacks, domes, steam chests are all over the place.

 

Hey Bob you forgot this one at the B&O railroad museum.
Just happened to have that picture for some odd reason .

Here's another fairly modern 4-6-0:

Thanks for the wonderful pictures and data on the 4-6-0's The fact that it can pull 5 Madison up a 5% grade gives me confidence that I can use one of these for smallish passenger power or a milk train string.
