Bachmann Spectrum 'Russian' Decapod 2-10-0 ATSF#2556 81707 DCC Ready
Road number differs from image
With its small drivers, open space under the boiler, and European look, a “Russian” Decapod 2-10-0 is very recognizable to most steam aficionados. Around the outbreak of World War I, Alco and Baldwin had received an order from the Imperial Russian government to build more than 1,000 2-10-0 decapod-type steam locomotives. Most of the order had been shipped before deliveries abruptly ended in 1918 after the outbreak of the Bolshevik Revolution. About 200 “Russian” Decapods remained undelivered and were allocated to American railroads by the United States Railroad Administration (USRA). Santa Fe renumbered the Russians they were allocated to nos. 2554 to 2556. This class ran for only a few years on the Santa Fe before being scrapped in 1934.
