The Stainz Engine

The design of the Stainz engine is European. It has a wheel arrangement of 0-4-0, and has a much more complicated piston system than the Pennsylvania Mogul does. We added the tender for more power, plus it looks better when it is pulling the E&A Express Deluxe behind the Pennsylvania Engine. The only problem is one of the cabin handles has broken from its bottom hold (as seen in the picture). The Stainz was our first locomotive, as it was part of the starter set we got in 1992 that started the railroad. The set also had the Orange Flat Car and the Crane Car.
