Another bogus locomotive from MTH. The new pacifics are basically USRA heavy pacifics dressed up to sell to non-suspecting B&O fans. The real P-7 were built by Baldwin in 1920's and like just about every Baldwin built pacific had the headlight on top of the boiler. As far as i know the B&O didn't have any USRA heavy pacifics. Here is the real President Washington # 5300.
This is shameful MTH. You'll do anything to take people's money. You could have built ACCURATE , scale models of the real loco but instead you run this game on model train consumers.

The one Pacific locomotive I would love Lionel or MTH to make is an accurate, scale model of the New Haven I-4 class 4-6-2 Pacific. The I-4 to the New Haven was what the K4 to the Pennsylvania. It has only been done as a brass piece never die cast. If anyone from Lionel or MTH is reading this please consider this locomotive. Being a New Haven fan this would be one I'd definitely order.

The New Haven paired the engines with both Standard and Vanderbilt tenders.

HO scale brass model from Precision Scale.
