Reply to "Help needed to identify a 2-8-0 loco"

Hello all ...drive looks like Hines Hines advertised a Mikado (1946) , 0-8-0 ( 1947) , and a Pacific (1949) .......but there are several of the Consolidations out there ......Hines went to Simmons in KS about 1951 ..and shortly after to Pearce .....so unknown if the Consolidation is a pure Hines or a later Pearce ...

Jim DeBruin wrote about Hines with photos comparing the Consolidation / Mike / 0-8-0 ... photos below .

the tender is cast aluminum..... looks as if same tender for all engines .

Bill Lenoir designed the Hines engines ...that is why that look good ... only the Mike has Adams castings ..later engines cast some where else ... perhaps Pearce ? .....

Last photos the Berkshire .... designed by Lenoir ..in my opinion the best looking of the bunch ... was going to be after the Mike in production casting by Adams ...but Hines forgot to pay Adams for the Mike castings ...so Berk castings were sold to Central Locomotive Works by 1948 ...

Cheers Carey
