This Bachmann Baldwin Class 10 Trench Engine 2-6-2T captures the looks of prototype steam locomotives used during WWI. Operating on quickly created narrow gauge railroads along battle lines, they played a crucial role in bringing food, ammunition and construction materials to entrenched troops and they carried injured soldiers to safety away from the Western Front in World War I. The Class 10 Trench 2-6-2T was one of the engines that saw service with the U.S. Army in France. When the war ended, the victorious U.S. troops turned over all the railways and equipment to the French, who adapted them to agricultural use. Featuring a detailed and finely decorated engine and tender the 2-6-2T features engine and tender electrical pickup, finescale detailing, applied metal details, completely hidden drive mechanism, operating headlight and E-Z Mate(R) Mark II knuckle couplers on the pilot and tender. The Class 10 2-6-2T trench steam locomotive comes equipped with a TCS WOWSound(R) and DCC decoder with Chuffinity(TM) technology for extremely realistic steam sounds. This sound system also has realistic background battleground and depot sounds. The On30 Baldwin Class 10 Trench Engine 2-6-2T is a must-have for WWI-era modelers.WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
