Mallets & Texans By the Sea (Brazil)
45 Mins #SRP-DTC $29.95

Here is a bonanza of huge (by meter gauge standards) American built Texas type 2–10–4s out-shopped in 1947 and Baldwin 2–6–6–2 Mallets built in the 1950s. This is no shoestring operation - as many as two dozen engines under steam - even some Alco Mikes shuttling the yards. All of these magnificent locomotives devoted to a Reading Railroad style operation, hauling coal from the mountains to the sea: The Teresa Cristina in Southern Brazil. All in stunning color from Dave Corbitt.
