USRA 0-6-0 Smoke & Slope Tender Union Pacific 4455 (BAC50623)

The USRA 0-6-0 with Smoke & Slope Tender - UP #4455 is a compelling model that captures the essence of a locomotive designed during World War I. Beginning production in 1918, the USRA 0-6-0 was part of a collection created by the United States Railroad Administration when the US rail network was temporarily nationalized. Recognized as a light switcher, this locomotive was remarkably effective for light freight and yard duties, allowing it to run for many decades after the return of the rail system to its original operators.

This model from Bachmann boasts realistic detailing and includes an operating smoke unit, enhancing the overall experience. It's designed to perform optimally on curves of 18 inches or larger, making it an ideal fit for various layouts. The attention to detail in both design and functionality makes this locomotive a prized addition for both collectors and hobbyists alike.
