Mantua 382-064 C&NW E2 4-6-2 Heavy Pacific Locomotive w/Smoke HO Scale

The introduction of the 4-6-2 design in 1901 has been described as "a veritable milestone in locomotive progress" On many railways worldwide, Pacific steam locomotives provided the motive power for express passenger trains throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, before either being superseded by larger types in the late 1940s and 1950s, or replaced by electric or diesel-electric locomotives during the 1950s and 1960s. Nevertheless, new Pacific designs continued to be built until the mid-1950s.

This rare MRRHQ Collectible HO Scale Mantua 382-064 C&NW E2 4-6-2 Heavy Pacific Locomotive w/Smoke, offered for one year only in 1993, represents E2 Class locomotives built by Baldwin, Alco and several proprietary shops, such as the Norfolk and Western, in the first quarter of the 20th century. Though we couldn't find any evidence of an actual #2901 C&NW E2, they did roster 2900 series E2's like #2908 shown below.
