Rio-Grande 2-8-0 C19 Class
Owner, Tony Weeden
This is the first of two Class
C19s within the Society, each of which is capable of hauling the
heaviest loads.
This
locomotive is based on the North American C19 Class 2-8-0's which ran
on
the North American 3ft gauge. They were wood burning
10-wheelers which
ran during the 1880s.
This
model was built to the established John Milner design and is
named
after a small Canadian town. The loco is 128" long
has 3.25" cylinder diameter and weighs approximately 1350lbs, with a
working boiler pressure of 110 psi. You can see it in action on You Tube by clicking here.
