The East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company began operation in 1872 to mine and transport coal from the Broad Top Mountain in central Pennsylvania. When the mines closed in 1956, the railroad was purchased by a company which operated a small section of the line for tourist excursions. The EBT railroad held the distinction of the only original narrow-gauge railroad surviving east of the Rocky Mountains for much of its history until the railroad ceased operations in 2011. Steam locomotives will once again head down the tracks in 2021 as the railroad returns to service with passenger excursions. Bachmann is happy to celebrate the history and revival of the East Broad Top with this freight train set. The set arrives complete with a 2-6-0 locomotive with operating headlight and tender with coal load, tank car, two-bay steel hopper, and caboose. Also included is a 56” x 38” oval of snap-fit nickel silver E-Z Track®, magnetically operated E-Z Mate® couplers on all cars, power pack and speed controller, and illustrated instruction manual.

Model Features: Directional headlights and tail lights on both the front and rear of the locomotive, allowing it to operate as both a standard pulling locomotive with double heading capability or a push-pull engine, whether oriented facing forward or back. Illuminated pre-printed numberboards Capable of navigating minimum 370mm (14 3/5″) radius curves (R1 radius in Europe), allowing the P42 to go where previous Kato locomotives have never been able to go before – dining room tables, coffee tables, spaces previously reserved exclusively for N scale! Brand new coreless truck-motor drive paired with a super-heavy solid metal body mechanism; doubling the number of motors while increasing the traction potential and weight for new standard of running smoothness and pulling power. Prototype Information: The General Electic P42 locomotive is also known as the “Genesis” locomotive. The P42 is a modern 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive used across the United States and Canada. Amtrak’s P42 has replaced the EMD F40PH in revenue service and today they are used throughout the United States. Since their introduction, they have had a number of physical revisions to improve the ease of maintenance and parts replacements, including a bolt-on fiberglass nose panel (replacing the original’s solid metal which was difficult to repair or replace) and a new headlight bezel that is more rounded than the previous square versions.
