HO NBL GN O-1 Class, 2-8-2 (circa 1947) #3042

PROJECT HISTORY - The Great Northern owned 145 O-1 Class 2-8-2's built in several groups between 1911 and 1919. Photos confirm they roamed system wide on the GN from Minnesota to California. The last 4 were not stricken from the roster until 1958. During their many years of service, the O-1s underwent innumerable individual modifications rendering each locomotive unique. In keeping with The North Bank Line's policy, we are planning 4 versions of these work horse GN freight haulers each representing a specific locomotive in a specific time period. All will be produced by Boo-Rim Precision and Factory Painted.


SPECIFIC MODEL INFO -

HO NBL GN O-1 Class, 2-8-2 (circa 1947) #3042

In addition to sport cab, number boards and footboard pilot, #3042 will be equipped with a BL feedwater heater as seen in the photo at Spokane, WA. Records show #3042 was assigned to the the Willmar, Spokane and Mesabi Divisions, but she no doubt tread most of the GN system.
