In 1912, Baltimore & Ohio went to Baldwin Locomotive Works for a quartet of 0-4-0 tank engines to serve the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore, Maryland. These were assigned class 4-32C by the builder, and would be among the largest 0-4-0Ts Baldwin would build (although class 4-34C did exist, these were significantly smaller steam storage locomotives). Considering the intended use as switching motive power, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad ordered a surprising variety of modern options, including piston valves and an early Ragonnet power reverse gear.
On the Baltimore & Ohio, the locomotives were assigned to class C-16. For the first decade or so, all four C-16s were based at the Mount Clare yard in Baltimore. At some point before the mid-1930s, 96 and 99 were relocated to Philadelphia and rebuilt as tender locomotives (Class C-16a). 97 and 98 continued working the Baltimore streets. At some point in the late 1930s or early 1940s, the Baltimore engines each received a smaller headlight located just above the pilot.
Both Philadelphia engines were scrapped in 1948. The Baltimore engines received a major shopping in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Based on photographs, it appears both received the B&O capital herald plates at this time, and 97 appears to have received a new water tank. Shortly before retirement, 97 and 98 were renumbered to 897 and 898. Both Baltimore engines would ultimately be retired and scrapped in 1951.
As early as 1939, the B&O C-16s caught the attention of model railroads, appearing in an article in the January 1939 issue of Model Railroader. Varney started producing a diecast kit of the class in HO scale in 1941. Known by modellers as Little Joes or Docksiders, models of this class would be produced by manufacturers in almost every scale over the following decades. Due to their ubiquity and affordability, model B&O C-16s have been first locomotives for many model railroaders over the years.
This model represents the C-16s as they appeared in the 1920s and 1930s.
