HO Class D 4 Truck Shay Locomotive WM #900 with Paragon 4 (BLI7819)

HO-scale WM #900 Class D 4-Truck Shay Locomotive with Paragon 4 Sound captures the power and character of historic Shay locomotives for HO layouts.

Shay locomotives are known for their geared drive and four-truck, three-cylinder arrangement, delivering strong pulling power on rugged grades. This model uses heavy die-cast construction for weight and traction and includes Paragon 4 sound with an operating smoke unit and an integral DCC decoder with Back EMF for smooth DC or DCC operation. A 5-pole motor with a skew-wound armature powers realistic performance, while rubber traction tires enhance pulling power. Prototypical lighting (headlight, rear light, and cab light), factory crew figures, authentic paint schemes, and fine detailing such as handrails, ladders, conduits, generators, a whistle, horn, and brass bell round out the realism. It is designed for a 22-inch minimum radius and is ideal for industrial or logging-themed layouts.
