ann arbor steam engines: 4-6-0; 2-8-2; 2-8-0
After deciding to backdate my roster to include a modest fleet of Ann Arbor passenger cars, I began researching the Annie's steam locomotives and learned that a handful of these engines lasted into the early 1950s before finally succumbing to the scrapper's torch. Historical records show that the Ann Arbor had at least one Ten-Wheeler, one Consolidation and one Mikado in service until 1952; prototype photos and N Scale model conversions for each type are shown below.
