N 4-8-4 T1 Locomotive Independence Day Theme Paragon 4 Model (BLI7411)

This N-scale Reading T-1 4-8-4 steam locomotive is finished in an Independence Day-themed livery and equipped with Paragon 4 sound and control. It’s designed to bring authentic Reading T-1 Northern performance to an N-scale layout, delivering realistic sound, lighting, and smooth slow-speed operation on both DC and DCC systems.

Key features include a die-cast body and chassis for weight and traction, a dual-mode decoder with Back EMF for steady slow-speed operation, and extra capacitance to maintain consistent power pickup. The model offers a full lighting package (headlight, rear light, cab light) along with finely applied details such as handrails, ladders, piping, whistle, and bell. It uses MicroTrains-compatible couplers, is compatible with Code 55, 70, and 80 rails, and negotiates a minimum radius of 9.75 inches. Rubber tires on one driver provide additional traction, and the premium painting aims for prototypically accurate road numbers, complemented by an authentic Reading T-1 sound set.
