Scaletrains HO Fox Valley Models HO Scale N&W Class J 4-8-4, Norfolk & Western/Spirit of Roanoke/Post 2015 w/DCC & Sound #611

The Fox Valley Models™ HO Scale N&W J Class 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive is available with ESU LokSound™ 5 for the first time with 2 speakers for Hi-Fi sound. In addition to improved sound quality, our model features numerous LED lights. We’ve also included the ESU PowerPack to keep your J rolling over dirty tracks. Its diecast body provides adequate weight for pulling power and with a 5-pole skew wound motor, will easily handle heavy trains. The model’s driving wheels are perfectly synchronized with our puffing smoke unit (DCC only) and the tender features a real coal load. The handrails, posts, and class lights are nickel-plated and there are sliding cab roof vents to keep your train crew cool as they travel at track speed. Printed and lettering is razor sharp with the builder’s plate legible.
