Before competition with Baldwin and other larger manufacturers forced the hands of smaller locomotive builders to merge and form Alco, the Richmond Locomotive Works offered this “state-of-the-art” 4-4-0 beginning in the early 1900’s. Employed in main line and short mixed passenger service until as late as the mid-twentieth century, this thoroughly modern American was equipped with cutting-edge technology, such as air brakes, knuckle couplers, and a tapered boiler for improved steam efficiency.

Features include: • DCC-equipped for speed, direction, and lighting (8-pin plug) • die-cast boiler, chassis, and frame • cog V-belt drive • operating headlight • all-metal Walschaert valve gear • finescale metal detail parts including separately applied bell, whistle, domes, and piping • detailed backhead • RP25 metal wheels • E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers on front and rear
