Monthly 2017 RailKing 2018 Volume 1 O Gauge Catalog Product Spotlight

December 26, 2017 - Each month throughout the year, M.T.H. will be spotlighting various items from our 2018 RailKing 2018 Volume 1 O Gauge Catalog.  This week's feature will focus on select RailKing Imperial 4-6-2 steam locomotives and complementing passenger and freight cars in Southern, Reading & Northern, U.S. Army, Chicago & Alton and individual railroads. Each of these items is currently slated to begin delivering in February 2018.

Southern Imperial Pacific Steam Passenger Sets - The Pacific was the passenger locomotive of the early twentieth century. It was the next logical development of the turn-of-the-century 4-6-0 Ten Wheelers and 4-4-2 Atlantics.      continue reading

Reading & Northern Imperial Pacific Steam Passenger Sets - A four-wheel lead truck allowed the Pacific to track well at high passenger speeds, a two-wheel trailing truck supported a bigger firebox than was possible with a 4-6-0 and, as passenger car construction evolved from wood to steel, six drivers delivered enough power to pull an 800-900 ton train of heavyweight cars. continue reading 4-6-2 Imperial Pacific Steam Locomotives - The first true Pacific, according to most accounts, was delivered in 1902 to the Missouri Pacific, hence the name Pacific. The British version of the story, however, credits New Zealand Railways with ordering the first Pacifics from Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1901, and claims the name derived from their subsequent shipment across the Pacific Ocean.          continue reading

U.S. Army Imperial Pacific Steam Freight Sets - the 4-6-2 became the dominant North American passenger locomotive, with about 6800 engines built in the U.S. and Canada by 1930. Pick any name train of the 1920s or '30s and the chances are it was led by a Pacific.  continue reading Chicago & Alton Imperial Pacific Steam Passenger Sets - With the advent of the super power steam era in the late 1920s, larger Hudsons and Northerns came into prominence, especially on the New York Central and in mountainous territory west of the Mississippi.      continue reading
