Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The 4-8-4 wheel configuration was used on virtually every main line in North America for passenger and fast freight service. With drivers up to 80" and a four wheel trailing truck supporting a larger firebox for maximum steam levels the 4-8-4 Northern possessed superior riding and tracking capabilities. The first 4-8-4 was built by the American Locomotive Company in 1927 for the Northern Pacific Railroad and was referred to as a “Northern Pacific” which in time was shortened to “Northern”. Bachmann’s model represents a Santa Fe 3776 class locomotive built in 1941.

This review is from: Bachmann Trains 4-8-4 Northern Santa Fe (1940-1950) 3781 (Toy)

Nice to look at however it does not handle switch tracks 50% of the time. Not a good value for your dollar unless you are doing a simple 22inch loop.
