Broadway Limited, HO Scale, 4765, 4000 Class 2-8-2, Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, #4023

PARAGON4 SOUND/DC/DCC EQUIPPED MODEL

With switching pilot, large rear headlight, and oil tender

The first Mikado type locomotives on the ATSF came from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1902. The Santa Fe took delivery of 308 2-8-2 Mikados over the next 25 years. The last group was the 4000 Class built by Baldwin between 1921 and 1926. The class consists of 101 locomotives. Our model is a reproduction of the locomotives numbered 4015 - 4100. All of our models feature a Delta trailing truck, extended cab, 15k gallon tender, Elesco feedwater heater, and Walshaert valve gear. We are modeling two primary variations - a standard road service version, and a later switching service version. The switcher version has switching pilots on the front and rear, and also a large rear headlight mounted on the tender deck. We have also modeled two main driver variations - spoked and disc versions - which will be installed on the correct road numbers per prototype photographs.
