Locomotives

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. These DC and DCC-Sound equipped locomotives feature the ALL-NEW Paragon4 sound and control system. Each Paragon4 locomotive comes with BLI's own integral DCC Decoder factory installed.  Paragon4 locomotives offer Dual Mode DC and DCC operation with superb back EMF motor control, improved DC motor control, built-in capacitor pack for more reliable electrical pick-up, industry best on-board sound with Rolling Thunder functionality, Pro Lighting Mode for prototypical light control, Switcher model for precise low speed control, recordable DCC operation for automated playback, and the same excellent detail level as Broadway Limited's Paragon3 Series models.    Paragon4 Sound & Control System Features: Operates in DC & DCC with improved DC speed control (use DCMaster for DC Sound) Built-In extra capacitance to navigate imperfect track Pro Lighting Mode offers individual control of all lights on model Switcher Mode for precise low speed control Record & Play Operation - Records and plays back sounds and movements once or repeatedly for automatic operation High Resolution Audio Quillable Horn for various whistle lengths and patterns Choice of 3 selectable Horns Alternate Whistle / Horn where applicable for locomotive with air horn and steam whistle - both the main whistle and alternate can be easily played Adjustable bell ringing interval for faster or slower bell Numerous user-mappable functions with available keys Multiple realistic passenger and crew sounds play on command Grade Crossing Automatic Signal Automatic Forward / Reverse Signal Prime Mover sound intensity varies with load Individually adjustable sound volumes for each effect EZ Reset Button for quick return to factory default settings **Specifications on this page subject to change.

The EMD E7 was the best selling passenger diesel of its day. EMD built 428 E7A cab units at La Grange between 1945 and 1949, each riding on six-wheel trucks and powered by twin 12-cylinder 567A engines for 2,000 horsepower. Its bulldog nose set the look for the E8 and E9 that followed. Southern Railway #2906 wears the classic black, gray and gold Tuxedo scheme that Southern used on its passenger fleet. Broadway Limited models it in N scale with road-specific details and the full Paragon4 sound and control system, so it runs on DC or DCC straight out of the box.

The Union Pacific Big Boy is the largest successful steam locomotive ever built. Twenty-five were delivered from 1941 to 1944 to haul heavy freight over Sherman Hill, and their 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement let them do it without helpers.
