One curiosity about this model…
You know that in the early nineteenth century in Catalonia, Spain were circulating several of these locomotives. Specifically in Valls-Barcelona line.
Here some pictures.

And a Harlam too.

I’m really amazed. I never thought I would see American locomotives with European buffers -outside of Sergio Leone films, that is.
Thanks for the nice photos.

Are the wheels plastic or metal? If they’re plastic, I’d be concerned about wear if the loco were operational.
Ray:
The wheels are in metal.
