N USRA Heavy Pacific 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive Unlettered (BLI8068)

The N USRA Heavy Pacific 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive is an exceptional model that pays homage to the original Heavy Pacifics built in 1919 for the USRA program. Originally, 20 of these locomotives were constructed for the Erie Railroad, while their design influenced the development of many similar models across various railroads. This particular model adheres closely to the prototypical designs of the USRA locomotives and features a detailed 10,000-gallon tender similar to those used by USRA Mikados.

Broadway Limited has introduced this locomotive using their Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC Series, offering a variety of configurations including both sound and no-sound options, allowing enthusiasts to choose the model that best suits their needs. The design incorporates numerous features to ensure realism in operation, such as the Paragon4 Sound and Operation System, which delivers authentic sounds and prototypical operation in both DC and DCC environments.

With a durable die cast boiler body and chassis, this steam locomotive provides maximum tractive effort for heavy load towing and smooth slow-speed operation, enhanced by traction tires. It is equipped with a golden white LED headlight, added handrails, ladders, and features that elevate its detailed craftsmanship. The model is compatible with Code 55, 70, and 80 rail, with a recommended minimum radius of 9.75 inches, making it a fitting addition for model railroaders.
