Product Description
A colorful locomotive commemorating the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The most widely used steam locomotive in North America between 1850 and 1880, the classic American was considered obsolete by 1900, when the need for larger engines became acute. Small numbers of 4 4 0s, however, continued to be built until the late 1940s, and a few were still in service until the early 1960s. More than 25,000 of them had been produced.

Train runs well; a little bright on paint scheme
By Dave
Bachmann has a great corner on the affordable model train market; they know which trains are the classics and do a great job of making models that the average modeler can afford. However, with affordability comes compromise; there is no working headlight on this model, which if on here, probably would have added to the cost. Still, it has a good amount of power and will look great on your N Scale layout. The paint scheme on this model is slightly garish, though...maybe on a larger scale it wouldn't look so bad. If you have to choose a locomotive, I would personally pick Bachmann's B&O version, as it looks more authentic.

Jupitor N Scale Train
By Charles Desantis
This is a wonderful addition to our Train Layout. It is constructed well. It is fragile but so is all Train Stuff so if you know what you are doing it is durable, but not for Children. Did not take long to break in the Locomotives Motor. I am very pleased. It is well painted, well crafted.
