SOUTHERN PACIFIC 2-10-2
ELECTRIC
1:32, 45MM GAUGE
ACL - CUSTOM BUILT BRASS MODELS
PRODUCTION LIMITED TO 100 UNITS
The Southern Pacific 2-10-2’s were general purpose locomotives and were used system wide. The stand out news story about this class of SP loco was that in 1922 twenty 2-10-2’s were shipped from Baldwin in one train across the country and that train was called the Prosperity Special.
The F-4 and F-5 class had 63 inch drivers, 29”x32” cylinders, weighted 397,900 lbs. and had a boiler pressure of 200 lbs.
F-4 #3680 is modeled by Accucraft as it appeared in 1953 after a shopping and had a 16,000 gal semi Vanderbilt tender added.
F-5 #3765 is modeled as it looked in 1955 with a clam shell stack and semi Vander built tender. The #3765 was one of the last 2-10-2’s to be shopped.
Both these engines represent the Zenith of the 2-10-2 class on the Southern Pacific. The 2-10-2’s were very popular on the SP and could go places that the bigger Cab Forwards could not. Many of the 2-10-2’s were based on the SP’s Shasta Division and were used as the main power on the original main line to Oregon from California over the Siskiyou mountains.
