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the motive power for express passenger trains throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, before either being superseded by larger types in the late 1940s and 1950s, or replaced by electric or diesel-electric locomotives during the 1950s and 1960s.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.
Smooth running, reliable and powerful with plenty of space to add DCC or DCC/Sound, the remarkable IHC Pacifics are a must have for any working railroad or collection.
