HO C&NW 4-6-2 SAL #865 Silver Meteor Passenger Scheme No-Sound DCC-Ready (BLI9553)

The HO C&NW 4-6-2 with the Seaboard Air Line #865 designation embodies the fantasy paint scheme known as the "Silver Meteor" Passenger Scheme. Designed without sound and DCC-ready, this locomotive model reflects the streamlined aesthetics of the early 20th century trains that carried passengers across the Midwest.

Notably, the Chicago and North Western Railway was recognized for its impressive passenger services and during modernization efforts, this Class ES Pacific steam locomotive was part of that notable shift. Streamlined locomotives, known as the "Yellow Jackets," showcased both artistic design and functionality. While these models offer a glimpse into a pivotal era of steam power transitioning to diesel, they are crafted with handcrafted brass bodies and heavy die-cast chassis to enhance tractive performance.
