InterMountain 79062S* Southern Pacific #4197 N Scale AC-8 Train Locomotive w/Sound

This is an awesome cab forward articulated steam locomotive and tender with sound in excellent like new condition in original box. I believe this unit was a closet queen and was never used but not sure so selling as is in excellent like new preowned condition. This is the harder to find more expensive S* model with sound IMR-79062S. Original box does show slight signs of storage wear. These locomotives don't come around very often, so best grab it before some else does! Will make a great addition to any layout!

Southern Pacific Railroad's AC-8 class of cab forward steam locomotives was the fifth of SP's 4-8-8-2 classes. They were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1939.  The AC-8's were the first to receive the larger redesigned cab windows as standard equipment that were retrofitted onto earlier AC class locomotives. The locomotives were only slightly larger than their AC-7 predecessors.  The first AC-8 entered service on August 18, 1939, and the last on November 26, 1939. Number 4173 was first to be retired from acive service on September 2, 1954, while 4172 was the last on January 9, 1958. All of these locomotives were scrapped, beginning with 4155 on November 26, 1954, and ending with 4172 on April 24, 1959.
