N Scale Reading T1 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive Model #2101 Chessie Steam Special (BLI7412)

This N-scale Reading T-1 4-8-4 steam locomotive in Chessie Steam Special livery is a ready-to-run model built for model railroaders who want authentic Reading power on their layouts. It captures the look and presence of the T-1 Northern and is suitable for both display and operation on modern N-scale track.

Key features include a Paragon4 sound and control system with Rolling Thunder, a dual-mode decoder with Back EMF for smooth DC or DCC operation, and a weighty die-cast body and chassis for maximum traction. The locomotive carries prototypical lighting, a working smoke unit, and a range of separately applied details such as handrails and ladders, with MicroTrains-compatible couplers and compatibility with Code 55/70/80 rails and a 9.75-inch minimum radius. It delivers authentic Reading T-1 Northern sounds and uses rubber tires on one driver for extra traction, making it a compelling centerpiece for an N-scale layout.
