0-10-0

[cavers]

At a recent estate sale I  purchased a Bachmann steam loco. that is a 0-10-0.  Of the thousands of listings on ebay, and   after looking at some other new/used retailers I have come up with zero information.  Just trying to establish that it is what it is .
Thanks
Mac
You folks are right as expected . Front and rear trucks were removed from loco and front trucks removed from tender. Can't imagine why. Anyone know of parts availability? I would like to return them to original.
I'm new to hobby and forum and appreciate your help. I tried to post photo's, but not enough space.
Thanks Again

It can help if you take a picture of the loco and post it here if no one knows.
I and others use Photo Bucket for this.
Right now I do not remember Bachmann ever making a HO 0-10-0 loco but then I do not remember a lot of other things.

Could this loco have been made and sold on the other side of the Pond and not in the USA. Right now, assuming you are in the USA.

Mac - I would check under the front & rear portion of your locomotive for attachment points for leading and/or trailing trucks. If there are attachment points (probably threaded holes) then someone, prior to your purchase, removed said trucks. That being the case, Bachmann parts can probably supply you with the missing items. I am not familiar with any U.S. prototype 0-10-0...but I suppose it is possible.

Good luck,
Ray

Actually the NYC and B&O used 0-10-0 switchers late in the steam era.  As a model, they are rare, only available in brass.  Mantua MAY have produced one many years ago.

I suspect Ray has it pegged.  Somebody pulled the trucks off a 2-10-2 or 2-10-0.

If the locomotive seems a bit smallish, it's probably a 2-10-0.  If the loco seems large(ish), a 2-10-2.

How big is the tender, number of wheels?

Two possibilities. This is right out of the Parts, Service and  Information page.

C&O also had some 0-10-0's for work down in the mine assembly yards.  I suspect as noted already that the loco is probably a Russian decapod with the pilot truck missing.

The Missabe road also had 0-10-0 switchers used in ore yard work and some transfer runs.

BTW the DMIR also had some second hand 0-10-2 engines that were basically fairly standard 2-10-2 engines but built without the front wheels, to allow it to fit on the railroad's existing turntables.

Those DM&IR 0-10-2's were built for the Union Railroad in the Pittsburgh area for heavy transfer service between the various USS mills.  They were sold to the Iron Range when the Union dieselized.  There was a brass model (PFM, IRRC) of this loco once upon a time.

IIRC there is still one of those 0-10-2s on display somewhere, lettered for the Union RR on one side and the Missabe on the other.

Greenville, PA is the location, about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh.

The Decapod, #90 at Strasburg is the only ten coupled loco I have seen up close in operation. Amazing for a railroad that is 4.5 miles long.
