Lionel 2231380 O Scale LEGACY 2-8-4 Berkshire Steam Locomotive Southern Pacific SP 3506 BTO

When Lima set out to build the 2-8-4, it needed to make the grade – literally! Designed for tonnage on the steep and curving grades of the Boston & Albany and Boston & Maine routes, the new design was named for the mountains which inspired it. But the success of these machines roamed far beyond the Berkshires. Locomotives of this type, indeed some of these original Berkshires themselves, found their way into mountains from coast to coast. Reintroduced in the Lionel roundhouse for the first time in nearly a decade, the A-1 Berkshire is now available with the added features of Whistle Steam and Bluetooth control. So whether you’re favoring the mountains of New England, Appalachia, southern California or anywhere in between, we’re got the locomotive you need to make the grade.
