American Mainline is announcing the Baltimore & Ohio 0-4-0 switcher engine with tender. Four switchers (96~99) were built in 1912 by Baldwin for the B&O. Initially constructed as saddle tank engines, some were given slope tenders and new cabs in later years. The diminutive size and short wheelbase were required to handle the tight curves where these locomotives were used.

The live steam AML models are butane gas fired and are constructed with brass & stainless steel. Each copper boiler is certified by pressure tests to three times the normal working pressure. The boiler is fitted with a water level glass, steam valve, water injection valve and pressure gauge. The cab roof lifts up and tilts sideways to give easy access to the cab interior.

The model features:
