HO PRR B6sb 0-6-0 Steam Locomotive with 60S66A Tender (BLI9172)

The HO PRR B6sb 0-6-0, bearing the number 4136, showcases a post-war appearance and features the 60S66A tender designed for effective switching operations. These locomotives were a hallmark of the Pennsylvania Railroad, commonly referred to as "shifters" due to their integral role in freight and passenger yard operations. The B6 class was known for its significant tractive effort, allowing it to manage frequent switching maneuvers with ease. Built between 1916 and 1920, a total of 238 B6sb units were constructed, and they remained in service through both World Wars until being phased out in favor of diesel engines in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Equipped with the advanced Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC sound system, the model also offers synchronized puffing smoke to enhance its realistic operation. With features designed for exceptional control, including a precision drive mechanism, this model is well-suited for both collectors and hobbyists alike. It also includes several authentically applied details, such as figures of an engineer and fireman, and various prototypical light operations, making it a meticulous representation of this classic locomotive.
