N 4-8-4 T1 Locomotive Iron Horse Paragon 4 Reading 2102 (BLI7404)

This N-scale Reading T-1 Northern 4-8-4 steam locomotive, finished in Reading livery with road number 2102, features Paragon4 sound and control with Rolling Thunder to deliver authentic steam-era operation on modern DC or DCC layouts. It recreates the Iron Horse Rambles era and brings prototypical lighting and performance to an N-scale roster, making the Reading’s iconic 4-8-4 come to life on your layout.

Built with a die-cast body and chassis for heft and traction, the model offers a precision drive for smooth, heavy-load pulling and reliable slow-speed operation. A dual-mode decoder with back EMF ensures steady performance in both DC and DCC, while extra capacitance helps maintain consistent electrical pickup. One driver carries a rubber tire for added traction, and numerous separately applied details—handrails, ladders, piping, whistle, and bell—enhance realism. Prototypical lighting (headlight, rear light, and cab light), Microtrains-compatible couplers, and compatibility with Code 55, 70, and 80 rails support authentic operation on a wide range of layouts, with a minimum 9.75-inch radius and authentic Reading T-1 Northern sounds completing the package.
