The Climax Manufacturing Company of Corry, Pennsylvania built about 1,100 of these engines between 1888 and 1928. These engines were popular where lumber was harvested and other specialized industrial work took place, especially in northern New England, the Appalachian Mountains, the upper Midwest, northern California, and the Pacific Northwest. Many of these locomotives were still operating well into the 1960s and are fondly remembered as one of the most exciting locomotives to watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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. With trucks instead of big drive wheels, a fast exhaust, and slow speed (15-20 mph was the engine's top speed), 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures Set Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDie-Cast Climax Steam Locomotive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5-Car Skeleton Flat Car Consist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(1) Bobber Caboose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDie-Cast Boiler and Tender Body\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:48 Scale Proportions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDie-Cast Metal Chassis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetal Wheels and Axles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConstant Voltage Headlight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDie-Cast Truck Sides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrecision Flywheel Equipped Motor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemote Controlled Proto-Coupler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngineer and Fireman Figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetal Handrails and Decorative Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDecorative Metal Whistle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLighted Cab Interior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSynchronized Puffing ProtoSmoke System\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOperating Locomotive Back-up Light\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt-In DCC Receiver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring:- Freight Yard Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnit Measures:13” x 2 1\/2” x 4 1\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOperates On O-42 Curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreight Car Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntricately Detailed Durable ABS Bodies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDie-Cast 4-Wheel Trucks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOperating Die-Cast Metal Couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDecorative Brake Wheels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparate Metal Handrails\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFast-Angle Wheel Sets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeedle-Point Axles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpening Car Doors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed Caboose Interior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaboose Brakeman Figure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverhead Caboose Interior Lighting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:48 Scale Dimensions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
