PROTOTYPE HISTORY
The Aristo-Craft Switcher 0-4-0
Steam Locomotive is an accurate reproduction of the Steam (switching)
Locomotives known as ‘yard goats’ or ‘shifters’ built and used by nearly
all North American railroads until replaced by the "newer" diesel
locomotives.
Our model is based upon the
Pennsylvania Railroad Class A5 0-4-0 originally built by PRR’s Juaniata Shops
with ‘slopeback’ tenders and the PRR Class A3 0-4-0T (Tank locomotive
without tender) built from 1895 until 1915.
Both types of 0-4-0’s were used in
areas of sharp curvature industrial trackage to handle freight railcars and in
many passenger-train terminals to switch US Mail, Express, Baggage, and
Passenger Railcars
