    AHM's 1967-68 catalog featured several HO-scale narrow gauge steam locomotives for their Minitrains line running on 9mm track. Models included a 12-ton 0-4-0 used by industrial firms, a Union Pacific 0-4-0 built by Schenectady in 1876, a wood burner built by Porter in the late 19th century, and an illustrated Forney 0-4-4 said to still run on the Edaville Railroad. The catalog also depicted but may not have produced a large Baldwin 2-6-2. The most common locomotive was likely the Baldwin 0-4-0, with other industrial and wood burner models also offered.

    HO-Scale Narrow Gauge


    Baldwin 0-4-0 Steam Engine
    No. 3011 -1967 Release
     
    AHM's 1967-68 catalog information for this loco stated it was a, "12-Ton Steam Loco as
    used by the Portland Cement Co., Franklin Sugar Refinery and other companies for carrying
    coal, gravel and other materials to the plants or between points of industry and to the mail
    railroads.  Loco has operating headlight."

    HO-Scale Narrow Gauge


    Union Pacific 0-4-0 Steam Engine with Tender
    No. 3014 -1967 Release
     
    AHM literature stated, "This Forney type locomotive, built by the Schenectady Locomotive
    Works, was first used in 1876. Equipped with a so called "congdon" smoke stack.  This
    engine was named for Mathias Forney, who patented the design in 1866."
    HO-Scale Narrow Gauge
    Wood Burner Steam Engine
    No. 3013 -1967 Release
     
    "Builty by H. K. Porter of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the last years of the 19th Century
    when narrow gauge saw its peak.  It was not only used for industrial comlexes, but also for
    regular narrow gauge service.  The diamond smoke stack is typical for wood burning
    locomotives," said AHM's 1967-68 catalog.  This model had a retail of $11.95 in the late
    '60s.
    HO-Scale Narrow Gauge
    Forney 0-4-4 Steam Engine 
    No. 3010 -1968 Release
     
    AHM presents an illustration of the prototype 0-4-4 Forney in the company's 1967-68
    catalog.  The model is listed with a $9.95 retail and no roadname is present.  AHM catalog
    copy states, "This engine can still be seen today at the Edaville Railroad, South Carver,
    Mass., where it runs with several of its sisters on a small Narrow Gauge line.  Forney locos
    were perhaps the most popular types on many Narrow Gauge Railroads across the country
    and vary only slightly in design."

    HO-Scale Narrow Gauge


    Baldwin 2-6-2 Steam Engine
    No. 3009 -1967 Release
     
    This AHM Minitrains narrow gauge steam engine appears to be the biggest locomotive
    cataloged for the 9mm line.  It is presented as a Fall 1967 release with a $14.95 retail in
    the AHM 1967-68 catalog.
    AHM's Minitrains collection of steam engines for HOn 9mm track operation included a
    number of selections. The most common is likely the Baldwin 0-4-0. Additionally, AHM also
    offered a Coal Burner, Wood Burner and Union Pacific Loco with Tender. In the 1967-68
    catalog AHM shows illustrations for a Forney 0-4-4 and Baldwin 2-6-2. I am not certain that
    either was produced. They are absent from AHM listings by the early 1970s.
