YEAR INFORMATION
2000 With its eight drive wheel traction the Churchward designed 2800 of 1903 was perfect for heavy and long distance freight haulage.

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.
