N Heavy Pacific 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive B&O 5314 President Lincoln (BLI8063)

The N Heavy Pacific 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive, B&O 5314 President Lincoln, represents a remarkable piece of history from the USRA program with its original designs dating back to 1919. Initially, 20 Heavy Pacifics were built for the Erie Railroad, followed by numerous variations that contributed to the widespread operation of similar locomotives across various railroads. The locomotive comes equipped with features closely aligned to its predecessors, such as an impressive 10,000-gallon tender, which was commonly used among Pacific models.

This model is part of Broadway Limited’s production run, which emphasizes not only the historical significance but also operational excellence. The locomotive is powered by the Paragon4 Sound and Operation System, providing authentic sounds and prototypical operation capabilities in both DC and DCC environments. Notably, it features an integral DCC decoder for exceptional slow-speed performance and a precision drive mechanism designed to handle continuous heavy loads.

Additional features include a die-cast boiler and chassis reinforcing its tractive effort, as well as operating micro-couplers and separately applied handrails for added realism. This locomotive is compatible with various rail codes and offers flexibility in operation with a recommended minimum radius of 9.75 inches, making it a great choice for both new and established model railroaders.
