Built by Rivarossi, the 0-4-0 Shifter sold for $12.95 in the 1967-68 AHM catalog.  Originally, AHM included two roadnames for this model (B&O and UP).  The model is among the new products detailed in the November 1962 Trade Topics section of Model Railroader magazine.  The review states this model is based on a Baldwin prototype built in 1912 for the B&O.  The notice is good with the comment, “We found this model to be an excellent example of the clean, finely detailed work that can be done in plastics.”
