After several years since their original run, Broadway Limited has brought the Niagara back with a fresh look. They come ready-to-run out of the box with BLI's Paragon3 DC/DCC/Sound system.

The Niagaras were purpose-built for fast freight and passenger service. A favorite among NYC crews, they were used extensively across the system. Capable of producing up to 6,600 horsepower, these beasts were also among the most efficient steam locomotives ever built.

The New York Central kept a tight schedule, and these locomotives were in such demand that they ran 6 days a week. This meant that crucial maintenance could only be performed in a 24 hour window. To accomplish this, NYC developed specialized "hot suits" that technicians would wear as they performed their work inside the still-under-steam locomotives.

Broadway Limited's rendition of this locomotive is exceptional. The detailing is very good and the printing is so crisp and sharp that you can actually read the builders and trustees plates.

The Broadway Limited NYC Niagara is available in five different road numbers.
