Just to clarify for Willy Gee and others.
This is a model of the Baltimore and Ohio C-16 0-4-0T switcher, commonly referred to as the Docksider because of its design and ability to negotiate tight track areas along the docks of Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Four units were made in 1912. Nos. 97 and 98 served their entire lives in their original configuration. Nos 96 and 99 were converted to traditional coal-burning 0-4-0 switchers, with added tenders and their saddle tanks removed and reclassified C-16a.
The C-16 Docksiders have been made by IMP, ROW and US Hobbies in brass and by MTH in diecast in O gauge. The MTH model is readily available on the secondary market.
