The Mallet is a wonderfully huge locomotive. It would look great on a big layout with generous curves. Built on a pair of our 4 axle ball bearing equipped power trucks, the Mallet is sure to raise the bar and create a higher standard for all G-Scale steam locomotives.
The 2-8-2 Mikado "Mike" steam locomotives were built by several locomotive manufacturers in the early to mid twentieth century. Operated by most railroads in North America, 2-8-2's saw service primarily as freight locomotives until the dawn of the diesel locomotive.

Tremendous growth and change within the railroad industry since the early 1990's created a need for new locomotives. The Dash 9 became the locomotive of choice for many major railroads.
In 1966, the Electro-Motive Division of GM (EMD) introduced the 3600 horsepower SD-45 for the domestic locomotive market. With its distinctive flared radiators, the SD-45 captured a large share of new locomotive production during the late 1960's.
GE built 476 of these 2500 h.p. diesel locomotives for use by railroads in the USA and Mexico.
The original road switcher, this is the engine that started it all. The early 1940s saw a requirement for an engine that was as flexible in the yard as on the road. Alco of Schenectady turned the still new diesel world on its head with the RS-3.
Starting immediately after the end of World War II, ALCO built hundreds of these 1500 horsepower diesel locomotives for use by railroads in the USA, Mexico, South America, Cuba, and Canada.
The Centre Cab Switcher is available in a number of road names.
