The Baldwin 12-8-1500/2 were BLW's first serious attempt at a production road diesel locomotive.   Baldwin built the famous "Centipedes" between 1945-48.   The carbody rode on two enormous articulated half-frames that were linked at the middled with a hinged joint.  One unpowered four-wheel truck at each end guided the locomotive through curves and helped provide stability.  The Centipedes were huge - 91.5' feet long for single units as operated on SAL and NdM.  Semi-permanently coupled pairs, as operated on the PRR, were 183' long!   Each unit contained two 1500 horsepower diesel motors, so a pair contained four motors and totaled 6000 horsepower.  Centipedes were heavy, totaling 1,200,000 pounds (1.2 million) for a pair, with more than 800,000 of those pounds carried by the 16 drivers. In 1945, the prototype A1-A2 set toured American railroads and three railroads placed orders - PRR, SAL, and NdeM.   Union Pacific originally ordered two units, but never took delivery.  Unfortunately, the Centipedes did not last long in service.   PRR and SAL retired theirs by the early 1960's and NdeM followed in the late 60's.   The Centipedes were enormous, and maybe the most unique diesel locomotive design of the era, but they could not compete with the more capable EMD locomotives.    In our 2022 production of Centipedes, we are offering models in all of the prototypical paint schemes, including the Demonstrator scheme.   We are also offering two Union Pacific sets.  There has been a debate over the years about which road numbers the units would have been assigned, so we have built models painted for both 1600A/1601A and also 998/999.     Industry-leading Model Features:    Paragon4 Sound & Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER Integral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC Precision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed Operation ABS Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort Built-in Capacity Pack for Improved Electrical Pick-up Premium Caliber Painting Prototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers Many Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Grab Irons, Horn, Bell, Wipers, and Etched Metal Grills Prototypical Light Operation Including Separately Controllable Headlight, Rear Light, Cab Light, and Numberboards Prototypically Accurate Sounds for the Baldwin Centipede Locomotive Metal Kadee-compatible Couplers (2) Will Operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 Rail Minimum Operating Radius:  22 inches     Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.

SurroundTraxx is a major breakthrough in sound systems for model trains! For the first time, a sound system has been designed with multiple trains in mind. SurroundTraxx gives you the realism of high-fidelity sound moving with the train as it travels about the layout, without installing speakers onboard the engine. SurroundTraxx works with a multiplicity of audio speakers that are strategically placed in hidden locations around the layout. Using the latest digital signal processing (DSP) technology and advanced block detection techniques, SurroundTraxx faithfully reproduces the sounds made by each train on the layout and directs the sound to the speaker closest to the train's location. As a train moves along its route, SurroundTraxx makes continuous adjustments to the sound level of each speaker so that the sound appears to follow the train around the layout. SurroundTraxx does not simply switch the sound from speaker to speaker. It uses an intelligent cross-fade algorithm that factors in train speed, direction, and distance between speakers. The sound makes a smooth transition as your train travels from one sound zone to the next without abrupt pops or thumps. DCC surround-sound system for your layout Suitable for all scales -- N through G! Sounds interact and “move” with your trains; no onboard speakers necessary Use with any 8-ohm speaker (or subwoofer for lower frequencies) Six sound channels support six different “sound zones” on your layout Simultaneous sound operations for up to six trains to be dispatched at once Memory storage for up to 99 locomotive profiles An extensive sound library to closely match all popular steam and diesel prototypes Ambient effects such as echo and reverb Download the data sheet (PDF) SurroundTraxx stores a roster of locomotive sound settings in a database called the Roundhouse. This is an extensive library that you can set up and adjust to match your model's prototype or to sound like your favorite horn or whistle, prime mover, or exhaust chuff. Each engine can have a unique sound profile! Once you have entered your locomotive roster into the Roundhouse, you can use the internal “dispatcher,” which allows up to six trains to be in operation at one time. SurroundTraxx can be set up to pick the first six locomotives detected, or you can assign these slots to the locomotives of your choice (perfect to make sure your favorite engine never goes silent!). These locomotive “slots” used by the dispatcher are called Auto Dispatch (AD) slots. After the trains have been dispatched, the block detector will identify the trains' locations, the speed they are traveling, and the point where they will cross into new blocks. SurroundTraxx uses this information to move the appropriate sounds to the corresponding sound channel (six are available) on the SurroundTraxx unit. SurroundTraxx uses an intelligent cross-fade algorithm that factors in train speed, direction, and distance between speakers. This reproduces the sound in such a way that it appears as though it is being emitted directly from the train rather than the speakers on the layout. The multiple trains running on the layout can all be in the same area or spread throughout the layout. SurroundTraxx will still dispatch and reproduce their respective sounds in full audio richness. It truly is a complete layout sound system with multiple trains and operating sessions in mind! Note: If using single-channel mode (default), the sound will feed through all six channels at once and does not follow the train. In order to set up the other modes of operation, you must use Digitrax® transponding block detection on your layout.  Included with SurroundTraxx: SurroundTraxx system 5V power supply Network cable Speaker harness for six sound channel outputs (6' sections of each) Quick Start Guide Owner’s Manual CD Customer registration card Additional items needed for operation: Up to six 8-ohm speakers Optional subwoofer The appropriate DCC mobile decoders equipped with transponding or a TL-1 transponder Digitrax DCC Command Station, cabs and power boosters Additional speaker wire if using a distance greater than 6’ Digitrax BDL-168 (or older BDL-162) Block Detectors Digitrax RX-4s (eight total)

On the N&W, hopper cars were the most common type of freight cars on the roster - about a 4-to-1 ratio of hopper cars over all other cars combined.  The H2a 3-Bay Hopper was the most common type, and was numbered from 15,500 - 25,499; 26,000 - 26,999; 28,500 - 29,999; and 31,000 - 31,999.  That is one impressive class!  N&W also leased these hopper cars to PRR and B&O where they were painted in their respective schemes.   In this production run, we are offering models of three N&W paint schemes, one PRR scheme, and one B&O scheme.  We are also building models of H2a cars painted in the liveries of four other major railroads who owned similar cars, and we have built four fantasy models that will add fun to your layout.  The hopper car models come completely assembled and decorated.   Each 2-pack contains two distinctive cars with different road numbers.    Industry-leading Model Features:    Plastic (ABS) body with ABS chassis Metal wheels and axles milled for Ultra-Smooth Friction-Free movement Detailed Underbody Removable Coal Load Detailed Interior Operating Knuckle Couplers Will Operate on Code 55, 70, and 80 rail Minimum Operating Radius:  9 inches.
