Cagney Class D
Historical Data:
This is the most widely-produced Cagney locomotive, produced over
the company's entire history.
Spotting Features:
Cagney steam locomotives have a distinctive look which features a
high boiler and small, scale-sized cab. The drivers are relatively small for
the engine they support. Except for the undersized drive wheels, the Cagney
is a miniature version of the New York Central Railroad's famed #999, now
on display in Chicago.
The 15" guage Class D engine is, of course, larger than the diminutive
12 5/8" guage Class C. It can be distinguished from the smaller locomotive
by the fact that the operator has somewhere to put his feet inside of the
train. However, the operator and passengers are still the most prominent
features of the train.
The C-class engines were apparently made in two variations. The earlier
engines have a smaller, wagon-top boiler and lighter frame. The later locomotives
have a straight-top boiler and beefed-up frame. These two versions are commonly
referred to as the "light" and "heavy" Class C versions, respectively.
