Overview:

The 2-8-0 steam engine was first developed in 1864-1865 to provide power for heavy trains running at moderate speeds, especially on steep grades. Alexander Mitchell, the chief mechanic for the Lehigh and Maloney Railroad, an eastern Pennsylvania coal hauler, designed the original 2-8-0. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was the first to put the 2-8-0 type engine on the rails when they rebuilt a Baldwin flexible-beam engine to a 2-8-0 configuration. For more than forty years, the 2-8-0 Consolidation was America’s standard freight locomotive, working hard on virtually every railroad.

Our model features a die-cast metal locomotive boiler and chassis and durable ABS tender, each 2-8-0 is equipped with the state-of-the-art Proto-Sound 3.0 system for an incredible operating experience. You’ll be amazed at how slowly and smoothly she runs - up and down grades and around corners with or without a load. And when you see her smoke, with each puff timed to the revolutions of the drivers, you’ll know that you’ve just obtained the best value in model railroading.
