HO 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive CNW #270 Ready to Run (ATH-2687)
Add a classic CNW 4-4-0 steam locomotive to your HO-scale layout with this CNW #270 ready-to-run model. Fully assembled and ready to operate, it captures the era’s distinctive 4-4-0 silhouette and reflects the wheel arrangement's widespread use on American rails from 1860 to 1890, making it a faithful centerpiece for mixed-traffic dioramas.
From see-through cab windows to the wire-form details, smokestack, and boiler-mounted bell, the model delivers striking scale realism. A heavy die-cast frame supports a five-pole motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive for smooth, reliable operation, while traction tires on two drivers boost pulling power. It rides on nickel-plated, RP25-contoured wheels for stable tracking, includes bi-directional LED lighting for consistent headlight brightness, and uses McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers with full electrical pickup from all drive wheels and tender wheels. Painted and decorated on a highly detailed injection-molded body, it’s ready to run out of the box; DCC-ready configurations are available, and sound-equipped versions feature an onboard decoder with SoundTraxx Econami sound, enabling full DC or DCC operation with NMRA compatibility and CV-based tuning. For layout planning, a minimum 18-inch radius is recommended, with 22 inches or more preferred.
