Discover the charm and historical detail of the 1908 2-6-0 Baldwin Locomotive with this meticulously crafted 3D printed model, once a proud asset of the Pacific Coast Railway. This model captures the essence of narrow-gauge railroading in its prime, serving the picturesque 76-mile stretch from the Avila Pier in San Luis Obispo to Los Olivos in the Santa Maria Valley.

Mainframe: The backbone of this model, the mainframe, is designed with precision to reflect the robust construction of the original locomotive, showcasing the industrial strength and the aesthetic of early 20th-century rail design.
Suspension: True to the era, the suspension system has been intricately modeled to show the movement and stability these locomotives offered on the winding narrow-gauge tracks of California's Central Coast.
Valve Gear: An essential part for any steam locomotive enthusiast, this model features an accurate representation of the valve gear, highlighting the mechanical complexity and the motion that powered these iron beasts through the valley.
Brake System: Safety and control are embodied in the detailed brake system, showcasing how these locomotives managed their considerable heft on tight curves and steep grades.
Crosshead: The crosshead, vital for the steam engine's internal mechanics, is crafted to perfection, ensuring that even the most observant model railroader can appreciate the engineering behind steam locomotion.

This 3D printed model not only brings to life the legacy of the Pacific Coast Railway but also serves as a tangible piece of history for enthusiasts, historians, and modelers alike. Each component, from the mainframe to the crosshead, has been thoughtfully recreated to provide an authentic and dynamic experience. The digital STL files for each section are available for download, enabling you to own a piece of railroad history that once chugged through the scenic Central Coast of California.
