MTH Premier GN R-2 (2-8-8-2) O-Gauge Steam Locomotive

[htc6600]

GN's original R-2's had 153,000 lbs. of tractive effort and they had to reduce the bore of the front cylinders to reduce slipping which resulted in a drop to 142,000 lbs. This was still 7,000 lbs. more tractive effort than the Big Boy. WP and DM&IR's Yellowstones were also more powerful than Big Boy.

THIS would have been bigger than the Big Boy if it hadent had those 2 front and back wheels!!!

Great Northern and Northern Pacific were two totally different railroads.

that is the NYC dreyfuss and J1e whistle... It dosn't suit this engine.

You can change the whistle with MTH's DCS system.
