The Story
Constructed between the 1900s and 1940s, the Baldwin 2-8-0 proved to be one of the most popular locomotives in the manufacturer's catalog. Typically found in freight service, the 2-8-0 was a versatile locomotive that could just as easily handle a passenger train, and several have survived into preservation where they continue to perform this role. Bachmann is delighted to offer this N scale Consolidation equipped with an Econami™ SoundTraxx® steam package. Factory-set for 2-8-0 realism, the steam package offers a choice of 16 whistles, multiple variations of 6 bell types, 4 prototypical chuffs, 5 airpumps, and 4 dynamos plus cylinder cocks, grade crossing signal, blowdown, brake squeal/release, coupling/uncoupling, water stop, and "All aboard"/coach doors—all in 16-bit polyphonic sound.

- Authentic Baldwin Locomotive Works design
- DCC Sound Value® sound-equipped for sound, speed, direction, & lighting control.
- Dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder.
