Uintah Mallet Steam Loco, 50





To overcome the steep grades and sharp curves of the mountainous Uintah Railway, the Baldwin Locomotive Works built two massive 2-6-6-2 locos, numbered 50 and 51. Unlike European Mallets, the Uintah locos did not recirculate steam between the drive units.However, they were articulated, and they served extremely well on the difficult Colorado-Utah route. When the Uintah Railway closed in 1939, the Sumpter Valley Railroad in Oregon (see LGB 20892) purchased both locos. You can add the Mallet´s power to your layout with this LGB model. A faithful replica of Uintah No. 50, the model has two Bühler motors in separate drive units for excellent traction on any LGB layout.
