The Pacific was the passenger locomotive of the early twentieth century. It was the next logical development of the turn-of-the-century 4-6-0 Ten Wheelers and 4-4-2 Atlantics. A four-wheel lead truck allowed the Pacific to track well at high passenger speeds, a two-wheel trailing truck supported a bigger firebox than was possible with a 4-6-0 and, as passenger car construction evolved from wood to steel, six drivers delivered enough power to pull an 800-900 ton train of heavyweight cars. Higher drivers gave a Pacific more speed but less power than a freight engine of similar size.

The first true Pacific, according to most accounts, was delivered in 1902 to the Missouri Pacific, hence the name Pacific. The British version of the story, however, credits New Zealand Railways with ordering the first Pacifics from Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1901, and claims the name derived from their subsequent shipment across the Pacific Ocean. In any case, the 4-6-2 became the dominant North American passenger locomotive, with about 6800 engines built in the U.S. and Canada by 1930. Pick any name train of the 1920s or '30s and the chances are it was led by a Pacific. With the advent of the super power steam era in the late 1920s, larger Hudsons and Northerns came into prominence, especially on the New York Central and in mountainous territory west of the Mississippi. But in much of the country the Pacific remained the primary passenger hauler until the end of steam.

This fantastic engine is in like new condition. There are no scratches or defects. We have replaced the original battery with a new NiMh battery for better battery life and it will hold a charge better. This engine is equipped with the early ProtoSounds system that does not rely on the battery to power the electronics. The battery is only there to keep the sounds going when the power is interrupted when changing direction and to make up for dirty spots on the track that momentarily interrupt the power. It will run fine with the battery switched off. The battery switch will need to be on to be able to charge the battery while running the train. If you forget to turn the battery off when done running it, it will tell you with a warning signal. The electronics includes the sounds of a steam engine chugging, whistle and bell. The coil operated coupler on the rear of the engine operates properly. ( Put engine in neutral, turn the throttle power all the way up, hold the whistle button on your transformer down for 3-4 seconds, then press the whistle button again and the coupler will fire) As do all MTH engines, the smoke unit works great. The electronic E-unit for reversing operates properly. Includes the original box, shipping carton but no instructions. MTH's catalog price for this engine is $899.95. You can have it for much less!
