HO New Haven I-5 4-8-4 Locomotive #1400 Green Scheme (BLI8087)

Meet the HO-scale New Haven I-5 4-8-4 Hudson locomotive in a glossy green livery, a late-era steam model designed to haul passenger trains on home layouts. Celebrated for its bold silhouette and detailed construction, this locomotive combines a hand-crafted brass boiler, cab, and tender with a heavy die-cast chassis and large 80-inch Boxpok drivers that evoke the original’s speed and presence.

Built for modern layouts, this model is part of the Stealth Series and ships DCC-ready, making it easy to add sound when desired. An 8-ohm speaker is installed to simplify decoder installation, and front and rear lights are directional out of the box, with other lights active whenever track power is applied. The drive system features a 5-pole can motor with a skew-wound armature and a precision drive mechanism for smooth slow-speed operation and strong pulling power, aided by rubber traction tires. A minimum 18-inch radius is recommended for best performance on realistic curves.
