Data from Emory Edwards, Modern American Locomotive Engines, (Philadelphia: Henry Carey Baird & Co, 1883), pp. 120, 122; and "Mogul Engine for the Dom Pedro Segundo Railroad", Railroad Gazette, Volume 8 (16 June 1876), p. 261. See also DeGolyer, Volume 7, p. 207. Baldwin works numbers 3819-3825 in January 1876; 3857 in April; 3942-3943, 3951, 3953, 3956, 3965 in July.

Among the engines shown by Baldwin at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition was an example of this set of Moguls delivered to a Brazilian railway that would see several types of Baldwin locomotives.

As part of Locobase's interest in preserving the context within which steam locomotives were built, he attaches the list of suppliers to these locomotives reproduced in Scientific American Supplement No 42 (14 October 1876), p. 659 to illustrate the web of components manufacturers needed to build a Baldwin locomotive in 1876:

Boiler, J. L. Bailey & Co.'s "Pine" Iron

Fire-box, Hendricks Brother's Copper

Flues, W. C. Allison & Sons' Lap-Welded Charcoal Iron Boiler Tubes

Head-Light, Philadelphia Railroad Lamp Works

(later succeeded by Philadelphia Locomotive Headlight Works)

Injector, William Sellers & Co (Sellers secured the American patents for the Giffard injector)

Jacket Iron, W. D. Wood & Co.'s Patent Planished Sheet-Iron

Brass and Copper Piping, Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Company, Waterbury, Conn

Staybolts and Tank Iron, Catasauqua Manufacturing Company (in the Lehigh valley)

Steam gauge, Buffalo Steam-Gauge and Lantern Company

Tires, Standard Steel Works' Crucible Steel

Engine, Track, and Tender Wheels, Ramapo Wheel and Foundry Company's Double Plate Chilled Wheels

(Note: the Burnham of Benedict & Burnham was not George Burnham of Baldwin, but Gordon of this long-time supplier of brass and copper piping to many manufacturers. B&B was a mainstay of Waterbury industry for decades and was the "parent of several joint stock companies, as for instance, the American Pin Company, Waterbury Button Company, and Waterbury Clock Company.", p. 768 of John Leander Bishop with Edwin Troxell Freedley, Edward Young, A history of American manufactures from 1608 to 1860 (Philadelphia: Edward Young & Co, 1864).)
