"Roundhouse Products proudly makes available in HO Scale an exact reproduction of one of America's true classics, an original, vintage "Old Timer" 2-8-0 Consolidation locomotive as designed and built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the 1880's.

America's original little giant, as used by most major and smaller railroads throughout the United States.
