HO 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive PRR #1223 (ATH-2681)
An HO-scale 4-4-0 steam locomotive in PRR livery, road number 1223, designed to bring a classic mid- to late-19th-century engine to life on a model railroad layout. Fully assembled and ready to run, this ready-for-the-layout model combines authentic period styling with modern reliability for an immediate, eye-catching centerpiece on any vintage-era scene.
Feature highlights include see-through cab windows, separately applied wire-form details, a smokestack, and a boiler-mounted bell, with bi-directional LED lighting that keeps the headlight bright in either direction. Power comes from a 5-pole motor with precision-machined flywheels and a multi-link drive, plus two traction tires on the drivers for extra pulling power and a heavy die-cast frame for stability. McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers ensure authentic coupling and reliable electrical pickup runs from all drive wheels and tender wheels. The model is DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug and rides on nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on common track. It is painted and decorated for realism, with a highly detailed injection-molded body and an 18-inch minimum radius (22 inches recommended) for best performance. For sound enthusiasts, available versions include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami, capable of DC and DCC operation, full DCC functionality, NMRA compatibility, precision slow-speed control, a CV chart, and the ability to program MU lashups with a lead unit horn, bell, and lights.
