UP LEGACY SCALE 4-12-2 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE #9000
 |
| Faded lettering, mud, dirt, dust, and rust are just a few of daily issues all engines face on the tracks. Our new weathered engines are done by hand in the USA by train enthusiast and expert Harry Heike. He brings over 20 years of experience a nd personally details and weathers each locomotive. The three-cylinder 4-12-2 design used a pair of conventional cylinders that powered the third driving axle while an additional cylinder, mounted in the locomotive frame, drove the second axle. True to the prototype, the Lionel 4-12-2 includes detailed Gresley valve gear in front of the third cylinder and an operational, reciprocating third drive rod in the locomotive frame. Almost 90 locomotives of this type were built by ALCo by 1930. Of these enormous locomotives, the #9000 is preserved in Pomona, California. Lionel offers the 4-12-2 locomotives in its early and standard liveries, and also imagines the locomotive painted in the striking greyhound scheme. Features |
