Bachmann Spectrum 81602 HO Southern USRA Light 4-8-2 Mountain Steam Loco #1491 LN/Box

Here is a Bachmann 81602 HO Scale Southern Railway USRA Light 4-8-2 Mountain Steam Locomotive & Tender #1491. Based on the Light version of the popular prototype, this ready-to-run model features excellent detail, including a cab interior with a glowing firebox, a working headlight, and many separately applied parts. The engine is DCC-ready, while a powerful can motor with flywheel provides plenty of pulling power. A hidden belt drive provides realistic see-through clearance between the boiler and frame.

Drawing its roots from South Africa and first introduced in the early 19th century, the 4-8-2 also commonly referred to as the "Mountain" type made waves when it first hit rail-ways thanks to a re-designed truck system that granted these powerful locomotives excellent stability when traversing at high speeds with passenger cars. Their practicality and reliability would not go unnoticed and the 4-8-2 quickly founds itself commissioned to rail-yards across the world. The 4-8-2 has since moved on from rail-yards and now several models can be found in various museums throughout the United States.
