An HO-scale 4-4-0 steam locomotive in CNW livery from Athearn, this ready-to-run model brings a compact, classic steamer to HO layouts and is ideal for recreating CNW-era operations.

From the see-through cab windows to the separately applied wire-form details, smoke stack and boiler-mounted bell, the model captures a high level of realism. Bi-directional LED lighting provides consistent brightness in either direction, while a five-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive ensures smooth operation. A heavy die-cast frame and traction tires on two driving wheels deliver added pulling power, and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide authentic coupling. It features full electrical pickup from all drive wheels and tender wheels, is fully assembled and painted, with nickel-plated, blackened machined wheels with RP25 contours for smooth tracking on popular HO track. DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug, it ships with a highly detailed injection-molded body and realistic decoration. The minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches or larger recommended for best performance. Sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami for authentic steam sounds and full DCC functionality, including CV-based tuning and the ability to program lashups.
