NEW ATLAS MODEL!!
The earliest versions of the 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotives were 
built in 1863 by the Rogers Locomotive Works in Paterson, NJ. The 
design was an improvement on the then standard 4-4-0 wheel 
arrangement. In theory, the 2-6-0s extra set of driving wheels 
offered a 50% increase in tractive effort over the older design. 
It is estimated that well over 11,000 Mogul-type locos were built 
for the next 50-plus years. Like the 4-4-0 American-type locomotive 
that it was designed to replace, the 2-6-0 was a general-purpose 
steam locomotive that was found in both freight and passenger 
service. Features Include: -Colorful 1880s era paint schemes 
- -Smooth-running motor -Operating headlight -Separately-applied 
bell and handrails -Factory-equipped with Rapido couplers (only)
