The Consolidations were capable of hauling trains twice as heavy at a fraction of the cost, it revolutionized freight transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, only a few railroads adopted the design when Baldwin first introduced it. However, its reputation soared when the Pennsylvania Railroad made it their primary freight locomotive in 1875. In total, over 33,000 Consolidations were built in the U.S., with 12,000 exported and 21,000 serving domestically. The 2-8-0 wheel arrangement was also used in Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, South Africa, and many other countries around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, many Consolidations are preserved, with a few still operating in excursion service. Two of the most notable Consolidations include Southern Railway Ks1 class No. 630, which is run and maintained in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, and Western Maryland SC-1 class No. 734. The locomotive was restored to operating condition and cosmetically changed to look like an original Western Maryland 2-8-0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re excited to offer a new production run of Consolidations, featuring liveries from some of the most iconic railroads in U.S. history. With a compact wheelbase and durable die-cast construction, this model is perfect for steam enthusiasts looking for a high-quality locomotive that performs smoothly on tighter curves. Each model is equipped with our Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC system, featuring synchronized puffing smoke, Rolling Thunder, and integral GoPack capacitors for an immersive operating experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50060721062134,"sku":"BLI-8737","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0560\/files\/8736_40.jpg?v=1772389597","url":"https:\/\/mrmuffinstrains.com\/products\/broadway-limited-imports-ho-8737-2-8-0-consolidation-steam-locomotive-denver-rio-grande-western-1175-w-dcc-paragon4sound","provider":"MrMuffin'sTrains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
