HO Southern Pacific 2-8-4 Berkshire T1a Locomotive with Tender (BLI7904)

The HO Southern Pacific 2-8-4 Berkshire T1a Locomotive with 4-axle Tender, SP #3501 is a meticulously crafted model designed for both collectors and enthusiasts. Featuring a heavy die-cast boiler and tender body, this locomotive offers increased tractive effort, making it an essential addition to any model railroad setup. Its design is complemented by precision engineering that ensures continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation.

This model is part of the Stealth Series, which means it comes DCC-ready out of the box without sound. However, it is designed for easy installation of a DCC/sound decoder, incorporating an 8-ohm speaker for enhanced audio features. Cabs and front marker lights are directional and powered by track power, while additional lights are illuminated as well.

The locomotive includes factory-installed engineer and fireman figures, along with optional piping shroud components, which help create an authentic model experience. Many separate components such as handrails, ladders, and air tanks are meticulously applied to achieve a true-to-life representation. Furthermore, the model is equipped with rubber traction tires to enhance its pulling power on the tracks.
