This is a Lionel 6-38031 O Gauge Southern Pacific AC-9 2-8-8-4 Articulated Steam Locomotive & Tender with TMCC from 2004. On a railroad known for oil burners and cab-forwards, the coal burning Southern Pacific AC-9 class proved to be quite a unique motive power fleet. On the tunnel-free and coal- rich Rio Grande Division, a conventional design was needed, so the railroad flipped the wheel arrangement of its successful 4-8-8-2 creating a "backward" cab forward. In 1939, twelve of the Lima-built 2-8-8-4s began hauling heavy freight and passenger consists on the Rio Grande Division. Producing 6,000 horsepower, they streaked across the Southwest at a top speed of 75 miles per hour. This new scale-sized model represents the first time that this significant articulated locomotive has ever been modeled in die-cast O gauge. The new Southern Pacific AC-9 has a long list of some of the latest Lionel features such as an improved Odyssey System for speed control with ON/OFF switch and synchronized smoke. The RailSound sound system even includes the locomotive’s unique auxiliary air horn. Features include…Produced from all-new tooling, TrainMaster Command Control equipped and is able to run in Command Control Mode or in Conventional Transformer Control Mode, Odyssey System for speed control with ON/OFF switch, refined Conventional Transformer Control Mode with lower starting speeds, improved smoke output and simplified Odyssey System controls, improved RailSounds sound system with CrewTalk communication, TowerCom announcements and DynaChuff synchronized chuffing, realistic auxiliary air horn sound, activated by the TMCC CAB-1 Remote Controller, dual FatBoy speakers for the ultimate in sound reproduction, high-torque Pittman® motor with momentum flywheel, wireless Tether connection between locomotive and tender, directional lighting including operating headlight and back-up light on rear of tender, illuminated classification lights on locomotive, illuminated number boards on locomotive, die-cast metal locomotive body, frame, pilot and trucks, scale front coupler with interchangeable O gauge coupler, four traction tires, synchronized fan-driven smoke unit, separately applied metal details and piping, accurate separately applied builder’s plates, trust plates and superheater patent plate, variable ash pan glow, flickering firebox in cab, authentically detailed and illuminated cab interior with painted gauges and valve handles, opening cab roof hatches, cab window glass, engineer, fireman and brakeman figures in authentic all-weather cab, die-cast metal tender body and trucks, electro Coupler on rear of tender and illuminated marker lights on rear of tender.
