N Heavy Pacific 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive SP 2488 Daylight (BLI8066)

The N Heavy Pacific 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive, SP 2488, Daylight, is a model that draws on the rich history of the original Heavy and Light Pacific locomotives built in 1919. This locomotive stands as a tribute to the design and elegance of its predecessors, being part of a production run by Broadway Limited. Designed closely following the original USRA designs, the model does not feature railroad-specific variations, making it an authentic representation of the Pacific type locomotive.

Equipped with the advanced Paragon4 Sound and Operation System, this model delivers realistic sounds and prototypical operation in both DC and DCC environments. The integral DCC decoder includes back EMF for optimal slow-speed operation, which is crucial for modelers who prioritize precision in their layouts. The locomotive’s precision drive mechanism allows for continuous heavy load towing and smooth operation even at slow speeds. An authentically styled light operation features a golden white LED headlight, enhancing the overall appearance during operation.

Manufactured with a die-cast boiler body and chassis, the locomotive maximizes tractive effort. Additional traction tires contribute to improved pulling capacity, while operating MicroTrains-compatible couplers allow for versatile coupling possibilities. Further detailing includes separately applied handrails, ladders, a whistle, and a brass bell. This model is compatible with Code 55, 70, and 80 rail, and requires a minimum radius of 9.75 inches for operation, making it suitable for a range of model train setups.
