Baldwin 0-6-0 Road Engines.

[Lone Cat]

Googling of 'Baldwin 0-6-0' always ended up with Switchers, both steam heavy switcher and siderod diesel switchers. However in RT3. the 'Baldwin 0-6-0' is 1850s era engine available in North America and World settings. (Unless specified). it becomes available AFTER 4-2-0 Norris (Also American engines), but shown up before 4-4-0 'American'.

This road engine is a climber, ugly (Why?) yet it is still faster than Norris and comparable with 4-4-0 Americans. This engine... however, this engine became obsolette once the 2-8-0 Consolidations shown up.

so.
1. Did Baldwin family designed the 0-6-0 engine? it looks heftier than the 4-2-0 Norris (Which it still inherits many aspectts of Stephensons engine.. (including the 2-4-0 John Bull.. built by the Stephensons), being weak, lightweight and voracious engines) but the wildwest Americans replaced this engine too soon.... in Wikipedia there was a 0-6-0 that inherits the Rocket designs. yet the googling doesn't see any 0-6-0s road engine seen in the actual game.

Got it! It's Hacksworth Royal George
2. Actually the first Baldwin engines to leave the manufacturing plant was the 4-2-0... ones that's a clone to Norris engine. how come do the first 0-6-0 get the name 'baldwin' in the actual game?

^ PRR 4-2-0 engine
Yet the Actual six coupled Baldwins were significantly different to ones seen ingame. supposed that cabs were added later on.

the difference is that the rear coupling wheels were placed farther backwards
oh! Got it! It was named "Washington", delivered by Baldwin without a cab!!

however it doesn't seem that this engine survived. it has been somehow scrapped.

Isn't it?

3. Why the 0-6-0 Baldwin was rated as 'Ugly'? was it actually a freight engine only? did it has any chance to do passenger or mixed trains?
And is the first Mogul 2-6-0 a rebuilt of these Baldwin engines? meow.

There were a few engines which never get recognized Lone Cat,
Now I don't know from which country they were manufactured, or by "whom" designed them, but a book on railroads shows them in 1839 as both the Lion 0-4-0, and the Gowan & Mark as a 4-4-0. These basically did not have a cab.
Then in 1849, there was the Philadelphia and the General Stark both 4-4-0, now having cabs, and the start of 'funnel type' smokestacks to curb sparks. Everything after that were basically the same with 4-4-0 wheel configurations for the Empire State, Washington, and the Lawerence, all in 1853. According to the writing, the President in 1859 was the first to use a wheel configuration of 4-6-0.

Now another writing shows that the Philadelphia in 1836 by Wm. Norris was a 4-2-0. Not mentioned by name was the engine No. 30, but possibly the American, with a 4-4-0 built in Jersey City. Refinements of the cow-catcher, headlight, a pulverizing smoke stack, a cab, and "snappy brass trim".

From what I could gather, the Baldwin was used for all types of consist. Freight and Passengers. There are not any specks which I have found that it was the forrunner of the American. The upgrade in the use of the American was based on its speed over that of the Baldwin. I do have some writings on the Balwin, but am not able to find it at this time. Too many books.
