Texas & New Orleans 2-6-6-2 Type Locomotives

Class MM-1 (Locobase 8728)

Data from SP 7 - 1951 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works #34235-34237, 34247-34250, 34331, 34378-34381.

The only articulateds to grace the T & NO's rails were the dozen Mallet Moguls that went into service in 1910. Like the MC-1 series (Locobase 329), these were conventional-cab locomotives with a Baldwin superheater. They were not particularly successful, although it was almost 2 decades before the railroad dismantled them and adapted their boilers to an 0-8-0 switcher layout.
