With its eight drive wheel traction the Churchward designed 2800 of 1903 was perfect for heavy and long distance freight haulage. The model has realistic, glowing firebox feature as well as a smoke generator. The locomotive incorporates multi wheel pick-ups for smooth running at low speeds, especially over points, while the metal handrails and fine detail wheels are produced in a blackened finish. A new model ringfield motor is enclosed in the tender.
