This is Lionel 6-11303 O Chesapeake & Ohio 2-10-4 Legacy Steam Locomotive #3011. The Texas-type. This version of the 2-10-4 owes its design to the pooled efforts of the C&O, NKP, Erie and Pere Marquette railroads, which formed a group named the Advisory Mechanical Committee. This group’s assignment was to design locomotives that best met the C&O’s requirement to handle high tonnage. They developed a locomotive that could handle 160-car, 13,500-ton consists virtually single-handedly! In 1942, the Pennsylvania Railroad, under increasing wartime pressure, desperately required new locomotive power to meet the nation’s urgent needs. With government restrictions barring the design of new locomotives, the Pennsylvania Railroad went searching for an existing locomotive that met its requirements. PRR borrowed a C&O 2-10-4, put it to the test, and by December, the PRR’s Altoona Shops had begun production of 125 of these landmark locomotives.

Introduced in 1919 by Baldwin locomotive Works in North America, the 2-10-4 would quickly find itself as a mainstay in railyards all over the world -- being commissioned in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa! The North American models were introduced for the Atchison and Topeka & Santa Fe railways initially, but would find themselves on various other railways as well. The production of these models was briefly halted during the Great Depression in the 1930s, but would see a fresh breath of life again in 1938 with steel prediction and locomotive manufacturing picking back up. With a handful of these models in a preservation status, this is your chance to get one running on the rail yards again with this masterfully crafted O-Gauge replica!
