**ARRIVED** Announcing Custom Run Premier USRA 4-6-2 Pacific Steam Engine - Chicago & NorthWestern Railway "C&NW " from Berwyn's Toys and Trains!

Nice. When is the pre-order deadline?

We encourage to order as soon as you know it’s something you must have ! Quantities are locked in with MTH and the factory will not increase quantities now. I never know but if you would like me to guess at this point the next 30 days is recommended.

Struck a little by the price - $1,250.00. Right up there with Lionel Legacy engines.

All scale steam engines are over $1000 now I’m afraid. There won’t be new tooling for die cast steam engines. So if your a fan of a railroad that never got exact tooling made for steam engines you like, it isn’t going to happen now.  I own a Lionel RI northern from last year. It’s not exactly right either in fact I am removing the SF number boards that Lionel painted over. When possible we try to be prototypical, sometimes we can get to a believable range. That’s where this CNW falls in my opinion. Not every engine on a railroad should be an E4 Hudson or Hiawatha . Not every Pacific had a colorful paint job.  

Full artwork is revealed!  Happy Fourth of July everyone!

The last run of pacifics from the big L was $250 more.

I think you folks should be congratulated for offering creative adaptations using existing tooling, painting prototypically as possible and avoiding "fantasy" paint jobs.

No, street price from dealers on the Lionels was $1259.99. Pretty close to these MTH versions at $1250.00!

Rusty's right on - what Berwyn is doing is great - very exciting to see these new offerings.

Just wanted to say "Thank You!" to all those who placed their order.  As of today, 8/3/21 we are pre-sold out on this engine!  Congrats to those who have reserved such a beauty!

They're FINALLY HERE!  Your orders are on their way!  Thanks to everyone who ordered these engines......
