In the early 1900s, 2-6-2 locomotives were built to be used on the American mid-western prairies, earning them the nickname "Prarie." These locomotives often outlasted their more modern and efficient counterparts in branchline operations, thanks to their relatively light weight, ability to operate effectively in reverse, and good speed. Bachmann's N scale 2-6-2 features a die-cast chassis, operating coupler, metal wheels and side rods, a skew-wound motor with bronze bearings, engine and tender electrical pick-up, and traction tires for greater pulling power. Performs best on 11.25" radius curves or greater.

We have a first sample of our Louisville & Nashville^® Track Cleaning Gondola.

The unique blue and orange scheme found on the model denotes this car's purpose as a "traction motor car." The prototype of this car was used exclusively for transporting traction motor loads for the railroad. Just like the real thing, our model also serves a specific purpose, coming with a track cleaning pad for keeping your rails clear of dust and debris.

Since this is an early sample, paint and details are subject to change before release
