Rough & Tumble Crown #1, Photo 1

Rough & Tumble Crown #1, Photo 1

This train is considered to be the first Crown built, and can be found at the Rough & Tumble Engineers Historical Assn. in Kinzers, Pa.
I know you're correct that it's a Crown, but I can't help but notice the strong resemblance to a Cagney...
 
Bob,

You're right, it does resemble a Cagney. The earliest Crowns (like this one) were a little different from the later, and more commonly recognized ones. In fact, this is probably the only Crown made with this design. Notice how it just says "toot" on the engine instead of the more common "little toot" which was written on the tender in later versions!
