As built by Baldwin, the chunky 1000's, equipped with Walschaerts valve gear were not destined to be one of the best liked class of engines on the N&W roster. Note the frame-mounted air reservoirs, the tiny 10 ton, 6,000 gallon tender and the Russian Iron boiler jacket and cylinder jackets. (N&W photo, Trent Hulbert collection) |

By October 1942, the M's had received electric lighting, cross compound air compressor, low water alarm, power reverse gear, and switching pilots. The larger 9,000 gallon, 16 ton tenders riding on improved archbar trucks carried the mid-1941 style tender-side lettering in Dulux gold. This locomotive was later sold to the Chesapeake Western.

Number 1051, at Kenova, WV, late in her career. Note the splash plate between the boiler and running board which was in place to prevent water and muck from the drivers being carried onto the running board surface and the cab front windows (August A. Thieme photo, Tom Dressler collection) |

The 94-mile long Winston-Salem Southbound, owned jointly by the N&W and ACL, received four brand new 4-8-0's from Baldwin in January 1911, which were identical to the N&W M1 locomotives. Note the tender side lettering, lack of power reverse and sheet metal plow on the pilot (Tom Dressler collection) |

M-1 1059 is turned on the "armstrong" turntable at Hillsboro, Ohio, shortly before the outbreak of World War II. The Hillsboro branch, the 1059 and probably the men shown are all part of history now. Only about the southern five miles of the branch remain in service, albeit with a 5 mph speed limit. We are indebted to Bob Durnell for these views at Hillsboro, which were made from 1940 era B&W slides. (Bob Durnell photo) |

Only one engine of the class, the 1092, shown here at Clare Yard, Cincinnati, Ohio in September 1940, received a superheater. Also note the outside steam pipes applied to only a few of the class. (Tom Dressler collection) |

The rear 3/4 view at Columbus, Ohio, APril 24, 1938, clearly shows just how far back the rear of the boiler extended into the cab thus preventing communication between the Engineer and the Fireman except when the latter was on the deck shoveling coal. Note the upgrade to the larger 9,000 gallon 16 ton tender riding on Andrews trucks still equipped with coil springs (Collection of H. W. Ameling) |
