Such a wheel arrangement Was popular worldwide, perhaps most famously in the United States between 1860 and 1890, where it was extremely popular. Such engines were well-suited to mixed service over relatively rough track. By 1890 they had largely fallen out of favor, having been superseded by 4-4-2, 2-6-0, and 2-6-2 types to varying degrees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eATHEARN 4-4-0 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee-through cab windows\u003cbr\u003eSeparately applied wire-form details\u003cbr\u003eSmoke stack\u003cbr\u003eBoiler mounted bell\u003cbr\u003eBi-directional LED constant lighting so headlight brightness remains consistent\u003cbr\u003e5-pole motor with precision-machined flywheels and multi-link drive train for trouble-free operation\u003cbr\u003eTraction tires on two drivers for more pulling power\u003cbr\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003eMcHenry ® operating scale knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003eReliable electrical pickup from all drive wheels (except traction tire wheels) and tender wheels\u003cbr\u003eDCC Ready 21 pin plug\u003cbr\u003eNickel plated, blackened machined wheels machined metal wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brand of track\u003cbr\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run out of the box\u003cbr\u003ePainted and printed for realistic decoration\u003cbr\u003eHighly-detailed, injection-molded body\u003cbr\u003eMinimum radius: 18 ”\u003cbr\u003eRecommended radius: 22 ”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound\u003cbr\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003cbr\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003ePrecision slow speed contro\u003cbr\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003cbr\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003cbr\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42187362205778,"sku":"ATH-2700-PRE","price":28.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/ATH-2700_A0_XM7ZVJEM.jpg?v=1771261460","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-ho-2700-4-4-0-steam-locomotive-painted-unlettered-dcc-sound-equipped-280-49","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
