11,000 Locomotives Built In 50 Years

This is the N scale 2-6-0 Mogul Steam Locomotive from Micro-Ace in an 1880s era paint scheme.
The earliest 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotives were built in 1863 by the Rogers Locomotive Works in Paterson, New Jersey. The extra set of driving wheels on the 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotive was said to increase in tractive effort by around fifty percent over the then standard 4-4-0 wheel arrangement.
Approximately 11,000 Mogul-type locos were then built over the next 50 or so years. The 2-6-0 was a general-purpose steam locomotive that was found in both freight and passenger service.
