We are building three prototypical road numbers in their “Pre-1944” appearance, and three prototypical road numbers in their “Post-1944” appearance. We are also building 1 locomotive in the Two Tone Gray Fantasy Scheme. Each model will be available with our Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC electronics and smoke. In addition to the Paragon4 models, we are also building these models in our Stealth Series. Stealth Series models are no sound models and are DCC-Ready.** \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eStealth Model Features:**\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Precision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• 5-Pole Can Motor with Skew Wound Armature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Hand crafted Brass Boiler, Tender Body, and diecast Chassis for maximum Tractive Effort\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Prototypically Accurate Details for Each Road Number\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Many Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Ladders, Piping, Cab Glass, Whistle, Brass Bell, Markers, Numberboards, Air Tanks, and Many Others\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Premium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Prototypical Light Operation with Separately Controllable Headlight, Reverse Light, Cab Light, Front Numberboards, Rear Marker Light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Factory-installed Engineer and Fireman Figures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Two operating Kadee-compatible couplers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Equipped with Rubber Traction Tires for Increased Pulling Power\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Will Operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 Rail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Recommended Minimum Radius: 18 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Coupler to Coupler length: 14.2 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e• Wheel base: 12.4 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability.
