Athearn G97056 HO Southern Pacific 4-8-2 MT-4 W/Skyline Casing #4358

This is an Athearn G97056 HO Southern Pacific 4-8-2 MT-4 w/Skyline Casing #4358. We are excited to be shipping to retailers many new items this month, but there are a few that we had planned to ship but will not. On final inspection, we felt that some of our MT-4 locomotives (road numbers 4358 and 4360), our Trinity hoppers, and N scale F45 locomotives were not up to the standards of the Athearn brand. We will update the ETAs for these units as soon as possible.

Drawing its roots from South Africa and first introduced in the early 19th century, the 4-8-2 or also commonly referred to as the “Mountain” type made waves when it first hit rail-ways thanks to a re-designed truck system that granted these powerful locomotives excellent stability when traversing at high speeds with passenger cars. Their practicality and reliability would not go unnoticed and the 4-8-2 quickly founds itself commissioned to rail-yards across the world. The 4-8-2 has since moved on from rail-yards and now several models can be found in various museums throughout the United States.
