B&O 0-4-0 DOCKSIDE LIVE STEAM
1
AML is proud to offer the famous B&O “DOCKSIDE” of the Baltimore Water-
front. Four switchers were built in 1912 by Baldwin for the B&O. Initially con-
structed as saddle tank engines, some were given tenders in later years. The
diminutive size and short wheelbase were required to handle the tight curves
of these lines.
The live steam AML models are butane gas fired and are constructed with
steel frame, steel drivers, brass cab, and copper boiler. Each boiler is fitted
with a water level glass and pressure gauge. The cab roof lifts up and tilts
sideways to give easy access to the cab interior.
SAFETY FIRST:
All our locomotives are safe to run, and will give many hours of pleasure,
providing the following safety procedures are followed:
1.
Please read the instructions thoroughly before running for the first
time.
2.
Always do a complete refill of gas, oil and water. Never refill just the
gas to prolong the run.
3.
Never let the engine run out of water.
4.
When refilling the gas, do not have any naked flame present, and NO
SMOKING!
5.
Do not pick up the engine by the bodywork, chimney or boiler,
especially when hot.
6.
Only pick up the engine by the buffer beams and, when hot,
use gloves or a cloth.
7.
Do not stand over the chimney. Ejected boiling water or steam
may cause serious injury.
