Not only that, but the engine does not look like an 1853 design, definitely a post-1856 design.Steve DeGaetano wrote:It's not a real Baldwin plate. It's based on the one on the Fred Gurley at Disneyland.
Note that the serial number is 14358, but the year is 1853. Baldwin only had built a few hundred engines by that year--maybe not even a thousand at that point.
The plate is purely fictional but does look good! Maybe one day Eddie Sotto will come by here and tell us about the plate!
