Variation A: Produced in 1946, this version has the fire box plate on the bottom that would extend beyond the ash pan and reach above the rear drivers. These drivers would be "Baldwin Discs" that have the "Baldwin" name cast into them. A close up of these driving wheels is shown to the right. This variation has nickel plated flag holders on the pilot, with no simulated front coupler.

Variation B: Produced in 1947, this version has a revised boiler casting with lengthened sand domes, and the directional unit’s lever protrudes though a slot in the top of the boiler. It has blackened flag holders and the bottom plate reads, "Made in U.S.A. / The Lionel Corporation / New York, New York." |
