B&O Thatcher Perkins 4-6-0 Pack

Some were done from me.. and I'm sure you can see the difference between Skeet's amazing screens vs my not as amazing.

Welcome back folks to the next 1800's steam locomotive line up!

The Baltimore & Ohio Thatcher Perkins 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" Steam Locomotive!

Built at the B&O's Mount Clare Shops in 1863. An excerpt from the B&O Museum below.

"In 1853, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad built its first "Ten Wheeler" locomotives to tackle the tough mountain grades in what is now West Virginia. A decade later, this locomotive type was needed to meet the demand caused by the Civil War and increased passenger traffic on the B&O. The No. 147 was part of the first series of "Ten Wheelers" designed by Master of Machinery, Thatcher Perkins, in 1863. After moving Union troops during the war, the versatile No. 147 continued to pull both passenger and freight trains."

The locomotive didn't get the name "Thatcher Perkins" until 1927 at the Fair of the Iron Horse Centennial Celebration. Where they named it after the master machinist.

Well now that I got the Thatcher Perkins Done... I had fun doing this one. Been looking forward to it a lot since doing the whole SD series. Coming up super soon is the B&O Pot Hoppers. Get some more 1800's rolling stock added in. From there the Union Pacific 4-4-0 119. I feel that needs some representation! Then to some additional rolling stock for the 1800's!
