MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS

The USRA was first created during World War I to act as single governing agency responsible for temporarily centralizing the Nation's railroads. Its primary responsibility lay in creating standardized locomotive designs. Of the dozens of USRA designs, one of the most prolific was that of the 0-8-0 switcher eventually appearing on 52 different railroads. The 0-8-0 marks the third USRA design to appear in the M.T.H. Premier lineup and the first for a switch engine. Built to 1/48 scale proportions, this all-new model will include the intricate detail and quality die-casting that have made Premier steam locomotives the industry leader. The tooling used to create the tender has been designed so that different coal bunkers can be installed on the tender body providing an added level of realism to each roadname. More importantly, each locomotive is outfitted with the incredible sounds and features of Proto-Sound 2.0 including patented locomotive speed control and synchronized puffing smoke.
