Here is an IHC M971 HO New Haven 4-8-2 Steam Locomotive & Tender #3320. This engine features plastic construction, metal wheels, plastic trucks, knuckle couplers, powerful motor, and a headlight.

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.
