Reply to "Vintage Baby face Baldwin or Erie - Built.... Fairbanks -Morse engine"

Hello all thank you for your input ..... Rusty it is not a Adams & Son / Garrett / Siebers etc ... below is a EMC/D Adams piece ... Adams provided the castings and you bought the sides from Siebers or Garrett etc ...

There are real door stop era Alco DL109's ..out there and they really look like a DL 109 ......

Both FM and Baldwin were trying to look like EMC/D ... as they were a poor RR's copy ...

As a copy of a EMC/D ...it lacks all the great lines that made the E-7 a classic ...

So this engine will remain a wall flower in the looks department ...

Here we have a pair of Adams & Son ...casting sets ...both with sheet brass sides provided by Siebers etc ... one more or less in one piece the other some assembly required ...Adams being made out of brass /bronze ... weigh in about 12 pounds for an A unit ..double the weight of the aluminum wall flower.

Cheers Carey
