Steam L-4a Mohawk 4-8-2 w/Tender, Powered w/Sound/DC/DCC (Brass Hybrid) -- New York Central #3101, w/Boxpok Drivers, Louvered Pump Shield

Because their route was flat, New York Central called their 4-8-2s Mohawks after the Mohawk River instead of the more familiar Mountains. NYC had four different classes of Mohawks, L-1 through L-4 used for both freight and passenger service. The fifty L-4s produced by Lima Locomotive Works in 1943 had huge tender coal space supported by two 6-wheel trucks. Smoke deflectors were added to many units in later years. This brass-hybrid model is DC/DCC sound equipped and features a five-pole can motor with skew wound armature and flywheel, full cab detail, nickel silver rods and valve gear, prototypical light operation with golden-white LED headlight and scale operating Kadee(R) couplers.
