HO PRR B6sb 0-6-0, #4001, Futura Lettering, 60S66A Tender, Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC

Overview

These locomotives were constructed between 1916 and 1920 where 238 B6sb's were built. These locomotives were retrofitted with power reversers to make the frequent switching moves quicker and easier for crews that operated them.

These switchers could be found in major freight yards, passenger yards, and could occasionally be found on branch line duty. With over 36,000 lbs of Tractive Effort these 0-6-0's did their job effectively. Through World War 1 and World War 2, they could be seen pretty much everywhere on the PRR. They were eventually pulled during the late 1940's and early 1950's in favor of diesel switchers that were becoming more common place on the railroads.

Today 1 B6sb survived and can be seen in the Railroad Museum Of Pennsylvania located in Strasburg, PA.

In the first production run, Broadway Limited is offering 3 different variations of the PRR B6sb, 1 unlettered version with DGLE paint, and 2 exclusives.

Each of the Paragon4 Series models comes with Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC sound system with synchronized puffing smoke and integral GoPack capacitors. See below for a full list of model features.

In addition to the Paragon4 Series models, each model is available in the Stealth Series. These are No-Sound / DCC-Ready models that operate on DC out-of-the-box, or a modeler can easily install their DCC decoder of choice. Out-of-the-box, front and rear lights are directional, and other lights are always illuminated with track power. Note that some lighting may be absent depending on selected aftermarket decoder.
