HO 4-4-0 American Locomotive with Wood Load Central Pacific #63 Leviathan DCC Ready (BAC51008)

HO-scale Central Pacific Leviathan 4-4-0 steam locomotive with wood load is a detailed model for HO layouts, capturing a historic engine from the late 19th century. This DCC-ready replica reproduces Central Pacific #63 Leviathan, a locomotive key to building the first transcontinental railroad. It rides on a die-cast chassis with a see-through frame, features a warm-glow LED headlight, and includes a wood load in the tender with separately applied metal handrails and sand lines. Front and rear E-Z Mate Mark II magnet couplers simplify linking to rolling stock, and a factory-installed NMRA 8-pin socket enables straightforward decoder installation.

At roughly 7.5 inches long, this HO-scale locomotive fits standard layouts and performs best on curves with 15-inch radii or larger. It combines a precision motor with a hidden drivetrain for smooth operation, with blackened metal wheels in RP25 contours for a realistic look and a detailed cab interior visible through clear windows. It runs on analog DC out of the box and is ready for DCC upgrades via the NMRA 8-pin socket, offering flexibility for different control setups.
