    I am very fortunate to have this fine piece. However it is unfortunate that we lost my dear friend Don Favell. Don was a true gentleman and an amazing master of his crafts.

This superb model was Don's last major project and it remains unfinished. He worked on this piece for the last 4-5 years and he passed on in May of 2021.

While it is most certainly not ready to fire, it is ready tp demonstrate on air at low pressure.

The original Baldwin 0-4-2 that it was modeled after was put into service in Sao Paulo, Brazil where it hauled passengers, sugar, limestone, and cement.

Enjoy!
