Sunset Models Prestige Series Brass Erie Class J-2 2-10-0 Decapod #2433

"Decapods constitute another side trip in Erie's progression of freight locomotives. The road had six Camelback Vauclain compound 2-10-0s that were built in 1891 and 1893 for pusher service on Susquehanna Hill. They were simpled in 1904 and 1905, demoted to yard service, and scrapped between 1924 and 1926. More significant, though, are Erie's Russian Decapods. The Erie was pleased enough with their performance while they were on lease from the USRA that it purchased 75 in 1921. They proved useful in local freight service because of their high tractive effort and low axle loading. Later Erie sold 16 of them to the New York Susquehanna & Western and 8 to various other roads." (From: "Guide to North American Steam Locomotives" compiled by the late George H. Drury.)

*Without a good reason to disassemble this great loco, like the selection of a DCC Option w/purchase, I can't be sure if the addition of a working headlamp is reasonably possible. Should you be the lucky buyer, select a DCC Option, and would like a working headlamp, just let me know and and I'll see what I can do.
