Well the Transportation corps locos seen here are mostly if not all World War 2 vintage. I have two early WW1 2-8-0 locos that were destined to go to France, but at the outbreak of US involvement were temporarily issued till 200 2-10-0's ordered for the Russian government by the Russian Czar who was overthrown could be converted to US operation of which I have 2 of them also. The first are Rivarossi models I re-lettered in the bold USA tender markings with the appropriate numbering for those issued to the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The second pair are Bachmann Russian Decapods I had to kit-bash and add a lot of new detail too. Many things had to be made for this backdating transformation. These also are numbered properly for two that were issued to the CRRofNJ.
