The 2-8-0 steam engine was first developed in 1864-1865 to
provide power for heavy trains running at moderate speeds, especially
on steep grades. Alexander Mitchell, the chief mechanic for the Lehigh
and Maloney Railroad, an eastern Pennsylvania coal hauler, designed the
original 2-8-0. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was the first to put
the 2-8-0 type engine on the rails when they rebuilt a Baldwin
flexible-beam engine to a 2-8-0 configuration. For more than forty
years, the 2-8-0 Consolidation was America’s standard freight
locomotive, working hard on virtually every railroad.

Produced in near-scale proportions, the Rugged Rails 2-8-0
steam locomotive may be low-priced but it’s still equipped with the
same high quality components and features found in more expensive
RailKing steam locomotives. Featuring a die-cast metal locomotive
boiler and chassis and durable ABS tender, each 2-8-0 is equipped with
the state-of-the-art Proto-Sound 3.0 system for an incredible operating
experience. No other manufacturer gives you a locomotive with speed
control, synchronized puffing smoke, remotely controlled Proto-Couplers
or high quality digital sound at this low of a price. You’ll be amazed
at how slowly and smoothly she runs – up and down grades and around
corners with or without a load. And When you see her smoke, with each
puff timed to the revolutions of the drivers, you’ll know that you’ve
just obtained the best value in model railroading.
