It looks like two boxcars have arrived from Maine - Bangor & Aroostook #1407 (by Weaver) and Maine Central #36123 (by Atlas O) and are now on the New York Central Railroad behind NYC 0-8-0 #415 and ahead of NYC caboose #19654 (by MTH). Pictures and videos on my 10’-by-5’ layout – just an oval with scenery.
New York Central #415 is a scale-sized MTH Railking model (30-1123-1 with PS1) of a USRA 0-8-0 steam switcher that appeared in the 1997 Volume 2 catalog at an MSRP of $399.00. Mine has a BCR and has been running on my model railroads for almost 25 years.
Between 1918 and 1920, the United States Railroad Administration nationalized U.S. railroads to ensure efficient operation during World War 1. The USRA also designed standardized 0-6-0 and 0-8-0 switchers as well as other types of steam locomotives. A total of 1,375 0-8-0s were built to the USRA design during and after the war. The engine and tender weighed 364,000 pounds. The engines ran at 175 pounds-per-square-inch boiler pressure and developed 51,042 pounds of tractive force.
