Overview:

For working really tight spaces there's no better locomotive for the job than an 0-4-0. Commonly found in industrial areas or working around railroad shops, these mighty mites packed a mean punch for their size. Navigating sharp curves and narrow spaces between towering buildings or even fighting traffic along city streets and docks, the 0-4-0 went to all the places bigger power couldn't and were often the first and last link in the chain between customers. Whether you love the operations of industrial railroading, or just want a scale switcher that will navigate the tight curves of your own layout, these switchers are your answer.
