Clean catch - looks like something fresh out of the box from Mantua Metal Products. Hard to believe such large 2-10-0's were in production as early as 1922! Made in Philadelphia, no less. Baldwin is long gone, but their building headquarters still stands in Eddystone, PA.

One of Pennsy's 500 2-10-0 class work horses. This PRR decapod was also referred to as a 'Hippo' by Pennsy folks. They pulled and also pushed many long huge freight trains across PRR territories. Thanks for sharing this gem.
