HO ATSF Blue Goose Locomotive 3460 Early 1939 Model (BLI7392)

HO-scale Santa Fe Blue Goose Locomotive 3460, Early 1939 edition, is a highly detailed reproduction of the ATSF Blue Goose as it appeared around 1939. The model features hand-crafted brass boiler, cab, and tender bodies mounted on a heavy die-cast chassis for authentic heft and pulling power. It runs on a 5-pole can motor with a skew-wound armature and includes a DC/DCC-compatible Paragon4 sound system with synchronized puffing smoke and integral GoPack capacitors, plus a decoder with Back-EMF for superb slow-speed operation on both DC and DCC layouts.

On the detail side, prototypical lighting includes separately controllable headlight, number-board lights, cab light, tender deck light, and rear emergency light; factory-installed engineer and fireman figures; and many separately applied details such as handrails, ladders, piping, cab glass, whistle, brass bell, markers, number boards, and air tanks. Rubber traction tires boost pulling power, and the minimum recommended radius is 18 inches, making it a strong fit for most HO layouts. The early-1939 edition carries the road number 3460 on the tender and is part of a Blue Goose lineup that features period-accurate paint schemes and prototypical sounds for ATSF Class 3460 locomotives.
