Description
With the advent of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Baldwin Locomotive
Works was forced to stop shipment of over 100 Decapod 2-10-2 engines originally
bound for Czarist Russia. These orphan locomotives later found homes with
American railroad companies and helped relieve a scarcity of motive power after
WWI. They are now part of a new revolution in model train sound realism,
