The first steam locomotive to operate in North America with the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement entered service with the Philadelphia and Reading in 1847. More railroads would come to adopt this arrangement in the following decades, finding greater tractive effort in the substantially larger 4-6-0 than in its predecessor; the 4-4-0 American. Bachmann is delighted to bring the 19th Century 4-6-0 to our HO Scale steam locomotive range with authentic prototypical detail, die-cast components, and TCS WOWSound® DCC Sound on Board®.
