Offered here is a highly detailed MTH Electric Trains model of the Erie Triplex Steam Engine, an impressive O-Gauge locomotive. This model is part of MTH's Premier Line and features the iconic Proto-Sound 2.0 digital command system, bringing advanced realism to model railroading enthusiasts. The Erie Triplex is a reproduction of the legendary Baldwin-built Triplex steam locomotive, an engineering marvel from the early 20th century. The original Erie Railroad Triplex was designed to handle heavy coal traffic in mountainous regions, showcasing a distinctive and rare triple articulated wheel configuration. Only a handful of these locomotives were produced, making this model a unique piece for collectors and history buffs. The Erie Triplex, first introduced in 1914, was one of the most powerful steam locomotives ever produced, although its operational efficiency was limited due to steam distribution challenges. Despite this, the locomotive remains a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of early 20th-century railroad engineering. Approximate train dimensions: 27.25"L x 3"W x 4.25"H.
