This is MTH 20-3443-1 O Hillcrest Lumber Climax #10 with ProtoSounds 3.0. This one is the Highrail version for 3-rail track. Many of these locomotives were still operating well into the 1960s and are fondly remembered as one of the most exciting locomotives to watch.The Climax Steam Engine differed dramatically from the conventional rod-driven steam locomotive in that it was driven by a crankshaft that powered the trucks with a network of gears. The Climax bore little resemblance to other steam power. Geared engines like the Climax negotiated grades of up to 10% rather easily, and could hold the rail on track that routinely derailed many conventional locomotives. Working far from the shops, as it generally did, the Climax was rugged and easy to maintain, enduring incredible strain as it negotiated tough routes.

Its key features are:
Die-cast boiler and tender body
1:48 scale proportions
Die-cast metal chassis
Metal wheels and axles
Constant voltage headlight
Die-cast truck sides
Precision flywheel equipped motor
Locomotive speed control in scale MPH increments
Remote controlled Proto-Coupler

Built-in DCC receiver
Proto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring:- freight yard Proto-Effects
Unit measures: 13 x 2 1/2 x 4 1/4

Proto-Sound 3.0 equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with any DCC compliant command control system. While the user won't have access to all of the incredible features of Proto-Sound 3.0, independent control over the locomotive is possible. This means you can continue to use your existing DCC controller to independently control your other DCC equipped locomotives in addition to your Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotive on the same track at the same time.
