Its design work with the American Locomotive Company produced a new engine with a large firebox and a four-wheel trailing truck, the first locomotive with a 4-8-4 wheel arrangement. The name \"Northern\" quickly came into use for the type. The Class A-3 was delivered in 1938 and was built to the same specifications as the Class A-2, with each engine weighing 2,400 pounds more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced sound and control system with dual-mode DC and DCC operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral DCC decoder installed at the factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronized puffing smoke with chuff sound; smoke intensity and timing can be adjusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack EMF motor control for smooth slow-speed operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in capacitor pack to help maintain electrical pickup on imperfect track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole can motor with skew-wound armature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision drive mechanism designed for heavy towing and smooth slow-speed running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden white LED headlight and rear light with prototypical light operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium paint with authentic paint scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound and Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-resolution prototypical sounds, including a quillable whistle, selectable horns, adjustable bell interval, and Johnson bar sound at direction change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple passenger and crew sounds that play on command\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChuff sound intensity varies with load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividually adjustable volume for each sound effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord and playback function for automated sound and movement sequences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePro lighting mode for individual control of each light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitcher mode for precise low-speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEZ reset button to restore factory default settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass locomotive and tender body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavyweight die-cast chassis with traction tires for pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied details, including handrails, grab irons, ladders, piping, whistle, and brass bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineer and fireman figures installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber plate beneath the headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard smokestack (no extension)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo automatic lubricator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpoke-style rear wheels on the trailing truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoal tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on Code 70, 83, and 100 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended minimum radius: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eItem Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBroadway Limited Imports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6961\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:87\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteam Locomotive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly Status\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to Go\/Pre-built\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShopping for the kids too?
