In 1937, the New Haven Railroad received ten 4-6-4 locomotives built byBaldwin.These were the last steam power the road would purchase, andthey were certainly the most beautiful.They featured streamlinedboilers that were gloss black with stainless steel stripes and trim (aluminumpaint on the tenders).They were powered by large 80″ Boxpokdrivers that were ideal for the speedy Shoreline passenger trains thatserviced New Haven and Boston.Many of these routes originated in, orcontinued to, New York via the New Haven’s electrified western end. These locomotives hauled some of the most recognizable extra fare trains inrailroading including the Merchants Limited, Senator and Yankee Clipper. The I-5 Hudsons were originally delivered with alblock lettering scheme.Later, a small script scheme was introduced,which was eventually replaced by a large script with a square letteringscheme.We are offering models decorated in all three paintschemes.We will also build two models in New Haven-themed fantasy paintschemes, and one model as a 100% painted brass model. Allof the models have hand-crafted brass boilers, cabs, and tender bodies, anddie cast locomotive and tender chassis.In addition to the Paragon4 version, each model is available in our StealthSeries.These are No-Sound / DCC-Ready models that operate on DC out ofthe box, or a modeler can easily install their DCC decoder of choice. Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional, and other lights arealways ON with track power.Note that some light functionsmay bemissing depending on the aftermarket decoder the modeler installs.
