| 2000 | With its eight drive wheel traction the Churchward designed 2800 of 1903 was perfect for heavy and long distance freight haulage. The model has a realistic, glowing firebox feature as well as a smoke generator. The locomotive incorporates multi wheel pick-ups for smooth running at low speeds, especially over points, while the metal handrails and fine detail wheels are produced in a blackened finish. A new model ringfield motor is enclosed in the tender. |
