Western Pacific 4-6-2 Pacific Steam Engine w/Proto-Sound 2.0

The 4-6-2 Pacific became the new standard locomotive for passenger service across the U.S. early in the twentieth century. Its larger firebox, supported by the two trailing wheels, gave it greater steaming capacity than the 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler; the added pair of drivers gave it greater pulling power than the 4-4-2 Atlantic; and the additional front wheels gave the Pacific greater stability than the 2-6-2 Prairie. They were so successful, for their time, that virtually every important passenger-carrying road relied on a fleet of Pacifics to head up their most famous passenger trains. Recreate the romance of America's most famous steam engine type in the markings of the Boston & Maine, Louisville & Nashville, Gulf Mobile & Ohio, Pennsylvania, Reading and Western Pacific railroads. Like all of M.T.H.'s steam locomotives, these engines are equipped with puffing Proto-Smoke and the incredible sounds and features of Proto-Sound 2.0. Pull-out fact: As with many steamers, each railroad designed Pacifics to fit their own needs; 4-6-2s ranged in weight from 117,300-347,000 pounds.
