Steam & Excursion > Chico has a good poker handDate: 09/09/23 07:17 Chico has a good poker hand Author: WrongWayMurphy Four aces is a good hand, but the overbite is not a good look, in my opinion.
Fort Madison, Iowa. May 1938. A Baldwin product from 1902 HK Vollrath collection  Date: 09/09/23 08:03 Re: Chico has a good poker hand Author: wcamp1472 Somebody has been robbing pieces off of the valve gear?
And the main rod is gone, replaced with blocks on the crankpin. What RR? SantaFe? W. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/09/23 08:05 by wcamp1472. Date: 09/09/23 08:51 Re: Chico has a good poker hand Author: LocoPilot750 1111's bell.

Date: 09/09/23 08:56 Re: Chico has a good poker hand Author: elueck Thanks for the photo of the bell. This confirms what I suspected looking at the crosshead and guides, that the engine was built as a compound.

Cleburne is oil country, so among other things, it was eventually converted to an oil burner. The engine was built in 1902 as a 4-cylinder Vauclain compound and was simpled at Topeka in 1914. It didn't go to scrap until 1955.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timken_1111 I find this one much more handsome. Date: 09/11/23 06:38 Re: Chico has a good poker hand Author: njmidland And the UP even came up with a guide to a good poker hand!
