|
| Santa Fe 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler Steam Passenger Set - The 4-6-0 steam locomotive appeared on the railroad scene in the mid- to late-19th Century. It largely replaced the 4-4-0 American type popularized in Currier & Ives prints, as heavier trains and mountainous terrain demanded more power. continue reading |

|
| Jersey Central 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler Steam Passenger Set - The 4-4-0 design was first modified by locomotive builder Richard Norris & Son of Philadelphia, who added an extra driving axle at the rear of the locomotive to create the 4-6-0, or "Ten Wheeler" as it became known. The extra pair of drivers permitted the construction of a bigger boiler and firebox. continue reading |
|
B&O 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler Steam Passenger Set - Combined with the traction of the extra wheels, these changes produced a 50% increase in tractive effort over a 4-4-0. It would still be some time before designers thought to add a trailing truck to support an even larger firebox. continue reading |

|
| 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler Steam Locomotive - Relive the pioneering spirit of 19th-century railroading with the RailKing Ten Wheeler and RailKing period rolling stock. Featuring the incredible speed control, variable smoke output, and digital sound quality of ProtoSound 3.0, this locomotive is sure to become a favorite on your layout. continue reading |
|
Brill Semi-Convertible Trolley - In 1869, the year that rails first joined America's east and west coasts, two German immigrants skilled in cabinetmaking founded the J.G. Brill Company in Philadelphia, first building any kind of rail passenger vehicle, including horse-drawn streetcars, cable cars, and passenger cars for steam railroads. continue reading |

|
|
| RDC Budd Car Set - As passenger traffic declined after World War II and railroads were losing money on passenger runs, the Budd Company set out to find a new way for railroads to provide passenger service at a profit. Their solution was the RDC (Rail Diesel Car), a self-propelled passenger car that railroads could use on low ridership routes and branch lines. continue reading |
|
4-Bay Hopper Car - Unlike equipment that carried a variety of loads, like boxcars, flatcars, and gondolas, this four-bay hopper was designed specifically for one cargo: bituminous coal. Its capacity matched the volume of coal that a pair of typical 70-ton freight trucks could carry. continue reading |

|
|
| 50’ Double Door Plugged Boxcar - While usually referred to as an insulated boxcar, the prototype for this car is technically a bunkerless refrigerator car, class RBL. Built by Evans Products Company at Blue Island, Illinois from 1969-1977, these cars were designed for shipments that need protection from temperature extremes but do not require refrigeration. continue reading |
|
Flat Car with Bulkheads & Pipe Load - For shipping large or bulky items, from machinery to vehicles, the flat car has been the solution since the dawn of railroading. Our RailKing models depict the variety of loads that make the humble flat car so interesting to railfans and modelers alike. continue reading |
