The prototypes for the Bachmann N Scale Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation were workhorse freight locomotives which operated on many railroads and could just as easily be found working long mainline freights or short branch line consists. This 2-8-0 Consolidation arrives DCC-ready with a built-in socket for the addition of the DCC decoder of your choice. The model features exquisite detail, accurately scaled metal drivers, an injection-molded body, fine decoration, RP25 contour wheels for operation on Code 55 and larger rail and E-Z Mate(R) knuckle couplers. It performs best on 9-3/4′ or larger radius curves. The Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation is one of many Bachmann N Scale locomotives.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.
