Due to clearance limitations en route, the locomotives were delivered without cab or the front (low-pressure) cylinders, which were installed on-site. At 48 inches in diameter, the low-pressure cylinders were the largest ever used on a U.S. steam locomotive. The highly-detailed model features a precision mechanical transmission driven by a 9000 series Pittman motor through a ball bearing gear box. Operation is compatible with DCS, TMCC, Legacy, and conventional control. The model is available for either 2-rail or 3-rail operation at $1,999.95 each from 3rd Rail division of Sunset Models Inc.
