Because their route was flat, New York Central called their 4-8-2s Mohawks after the Mohawk River instead of the more familiar Mountains. NYC had four different classes of Mohawks, L-1 through L-4 used for both freight and passenger service. The fifty L-4s produced by Lima Locomotive Works in 1943 had huge tender coal space supported by two 6-wheel trucks. Smoke deflectors were added to many units in later years.
This Broadway Brass Museum Series model features a full-brass locomotive and tender, each with full underbody detail. It's equipped with a premium 5-pole can motor with skew-wound armature and flywheel, nickel silver rods and valve gear, window glazing, sprung drivers, full cab detail, prototypical light operation with golden white LED headlight, scale operating Kadee(R) couplers, operating power reverse, builder's plate, trust plate on tender and premium caliber painting. A state-of-the-art display case with roller bearings and power inputs is included for in-place display operation.
