AHM 5049C USRA CNJ 0-6-0 Deluxe Switcher HO Scale
AHM 5049C USRA CNJ 0-6-0 Deluxe Switcher
"Between 1901 and 1915 CNJ bought or built 101 0-6-0s and 25 0-8-0s, all Camelbacks. The sudden surge in traffic moving to the port of New York during World War I resulted in the addition of 16 0-6-0s to CNJ's roster, ten USRA machines and six of the type Baldwin built and kept in stock for industries and contractors. The modernization of CNJ's roster during the 1920s included five large 0-6-0s and 30 0-8-0s.(From: "The Guide to North American Steam Locomotives" by the late George H. Drury.)
With fully functional Walschaerts Valve Gear, complete steel handrails, steel coupler release bars, side stripes and other fine details, this AHM5049C represents the Deluxe version of Rivarossi' two series of USRA 0-6-0 Switchers. I've made it even more deluxe by adding my High Performance Always-On LED Headlamp, Custom Directional Tender Back-up Lighting and a working rear knuckle coupler.
