Product Information

There's nothing like the sight of a fast freight highballing down the main - but toiling away in yards and mills, switch engines like the 0-6-0 do the hard work that makes all of those other trains possible. Yard switching can be a great addition to any model railroad as well - you don't need a huge empire to spend hours making up new cuts of cars, spotting loads and grabbing the empties as you build up the next train. Switch your layout with ease and reliability with the new USRA 0-6-0 from Lionel. A first in the Lionel catalog, this model has been upgraded with the slow-speed control and sounds you want in a switcher and that only LEGACY can provide. Based on the popular 1918 USRA design, switchers like this were found on railroads all across the country. Many served for decades in freight and passenger yards, industries and even on small freights and locals from time to time. Perfectly sized for smaller layouts, the USRA 0-6-0 features electrical pick up from the locomotive and tender for even more reliable performance at slow speeds on switches.
