Working with outside design engineers, the railroad developed a locomotive with a large firebox and a four-wheel trailing truck. It was the first locomotive built with the 4-8-4 wheel arrangement, which later became known as the Northern type. The first class of these locomotives entered service in 1926 and 1927, and later classes followed in 1934, 1938, 1941, and 1943 with heavier builds and design refinements. This model represents the A-3 class, road number 2666.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShopping for the kids too?
