Chicago Great Western Had 2 Steamers Numbered 232
Author: MartyBernard

Different wheel arrangements, different manufactors, but for 15 years the roster data (next) says they had the same number.  The roster gives no hint of a number change.

1. CGW 232 2-6-2 Alco built June 1902 and sold 1930.  Walt Dunlap Collection

2. CGW 232 4-6-0 Baldwin built March 1899 and scrapped Sept. 1917.  Walt Dunlap Collection

Interesting that CGW had the most populist of Lionel O and O-27 steamers the 2-6-2. Very few roads rostered any 2-6-2s.
Thanks for that enlightening post.
