HO HY SF Blue Goose Steam Loco #3460/1939 DC/DCC Sound & Smo

The ATSF 3460 class consisted
of six “Super Hudson” 4-6-4 steam locomotives built by Baldwin in
1937.   One of those, #3460, was the Santa Fe’s only
streamlined locomotive.  It was painted in a unique light blue
and silver paint scheme and gained the name “Blue
Goose”.   The Blue Goose was delivered to Shopton,
Iowa in January 1938, and it pulled many of the Santa Fe’s famed
passenger trains until it was retired and scrapped in
1956.  

In our first production run of
the Blue Goose, we are offering two models of the early locomotive as
it appeared in 1938 and four models of the locomotive as it appeared
between 1939 and retirement.  The only difference between the
two 1938 models is the presence of the road number “3460” on the side
of the tender.  Each of our four post-1938 model has a unique
paint scheme, prototypically accurate for a specific time
frame.  The most visible detail differences between the early
and late Blue Goose versions are the removal of the full skirts and the
addition of the scissor smokestack and associated
equipment.   

All of the models have
hand-crafted brass boilers, cabs, and tender bodies, and die cast
locomotive and tender chassis.   Each model comes
with our Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC sound system with synchronized puffing
smoke and integral GoPack capacitors.
