Does anyone know what train is pictured in this puzzle? When I look up Edison 4-4-0, nothing comes up that looks like this.
> Edison is based on an 0-4-0 switcher locomotive built about 1870 by Manchester Locomotive Works. Henry Ford purchased the switcher from Edison Portland Cement Company in 1932. Mr. Ford had the locomotive rebuilt into a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement by staff at Ford Motor Company's Rouge locomotive shop. Edison later went into regular service on Greenfield Village's railroad.

>>2015483I know, but not a single picture of that train looks like the picture on the box
>>2015486Looks the same to me minus some minor changes (smokestack, headlight, cab windows, pilot, some paint)
it has been rebuilt several times
>>2015549now thats what im talking about. thanks bro
Ya need to search better, sonny. It appears Henry Ford has an 0-4-0 modified to 4-4-0 in his own shops.Over the years, it's been altered as it went to different owners since they realized it's not "authentic.It only had the stack in OP's photo from 1993 to 2004, for example.https://www.steamlocomotive.info/vlocomotive.cfm?Display=637https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/12-post-your-photos/372645-machinery-edison-1-a.html
Hijacking, but why do American trains of the era look so funky and weirdly proportioned. Compare with the refined, tasteful British-style 4-4-0
>>2015574They’re all lanky and small boilered to run on the sketchy track of most American railroads of the time, and the tall diamond stack for wood burning just adds to the look.
>>2015481Sick train puzzle, trains are autistic and so are puzzles and you have a train puzzle
>>2015574'Murican here, I get the tasteful part but why do Brit locos always have such small cabs for the crew?
