Countless hours have been spent creating from scratch this detailed replica of the Standard Gauge Baldwin 4-4-0 steam locomotive of 1872. In its time, this locomotive represented the height of innovation and progression, and was the key to western expansion of the American Frontier. The piece is displayed on a hand carved solid walnut base and comes in a custom shipping case.
